Now, this Tuesday, I need to meet with the nutritionist I met last week and see what she has to say about his large intestine imbalance and poor absorption of food I think I am going to have to add something enzymatic to his diet along with the probiotics. But for now this powder seems to have def. made a difference.
On the down-side of this good news is the fact that just today I saw that his stool is starting to look loose and mucousy again--not horrible like it usually looks but this tells me that I may have to go back to the damned antibiotic which I REALLY, REALLY, do not want to do. But I am not far enough along in MY EDUCATION FOR him to know what to do next. I am so hoping that he isn't going into another flare-up--it is so sad to see and I know that he is cramping and that he hurts when this happens.
Again, I was happy to read all of your comments and hope I see more along the way. Yorkies have to be the cutest warm blooded species on the planet, don't they????? LOL Bye now, YorkieSue |
Probotics are wonderful, however, I would advise you to see an internist. The I/D food should only be a temporary fix because the protein is minimal, just a lot of filler which does not add the necessary components of his daily requirements. This is a difficult disease and the normal vet doesn't have the time to research the subject. The internist -- that is their speciality.
Good luck, Deborah
