Sometimes what happens when bugs (giardia, clostridium, whatever) attack a dog's digestive tract is that they actually start to DIGEST the dog's intestinal lining. What follows is months of gas, gurgling, diarrhea, mucousy/bloody stools, presription diets, a gazillion blood tests, and usually diagnoses like ibd/ibs/colitis etcetera.
So, when you say "upset bellies' - besides the gas etc. - how are their stools? And, are they vomiting at all? Also, you don't want to homecook right?
(btw, personally - I'd stay away from the Lifes Abd. w/ the beet pulp in it, jmho  )
Do you want to try raw medallions? Or, freeze dried raw w/ the goal of then moving to Raw Frozen? |
I sent you a PM but i took to the vet at the first sign of trouble (thank god) they never got the poops or vomited...well Diggy vomitted once and his poop got loose and mucousy 1 time both are back to solid normal poop
I think I got it before it got out of hand. Diggys belly was gurgling 1 night only and I took to vet right away. The gas has stopped i gave him some activia yogurt last night and started probiotics today and they are both happy playing back to what seems to be normal.
