YES!!!!!!!! I have more experience that I ever wanted. It can often be treated w/out any drugs whatsoever. Immuno suppressive drugs are SO tough on their systems.

First: age? when did it start? what were/are you feeding? how is the weight? did she have giardia or any intestinal infection as a pup?

I agonized for months w/ mushy poos, mucousy/bloody stools, mulitple drugs, painful puppy tummies.....and on and on. And I was homecooking, so I was shocked that I couldn't fix my little lovebug!

Finally, I had a phone consult w/ an animal nutritionist, who put him on hypoallergenic homecooked diet (no kibble at all) - and 1.5 days later HIS STOOLS WERE FORMED....after 5 months of mush. I almost cried, I tell you!

He's been "firm" now since Sept. and I still just ooh-and-ah over his poos. So, the bottom line is: try diet and supplements FIRST, meds as a last resort. It can merely be a food allergy that is irritating the ibs/intestines/colon - and you may be able to completely avoid all drugs.
