The only chew treat I trust is Bully Sticks, but I wouldn't give her them now either, at least until you have a good amount of time that is 'episode free'. As this may be the cause or the trigger.

Yes, that is how TJ was. All that noise, I thought he had a monster in his tummy. He wouldn't eat, just wanted to be held or sleep. Then he would poop about and inch or two of normal looking poop, then just globs of orange mucus. Once that was out of him, he was fine and starving....

Definitely talk with the Vet. And do a complete blood panel. TJ's folate levels were high, Vet said bacteria overgrowth which is a form of IBD. After about 1 year of trials and errors, the final med that helped TJ was Tylan Powder. TJ is now 4 years old and hasn't had the episodes since he was 1.5 yrs old

Keep us posted.
You know I remember that we gave her a greenie back in the summer and she loved it,but that night she had diareah.
Well thanks , it's so nice to hear from someone that has experienced the same thing with their puppy.This is the great thing about YT.
What about probiotics ? Did the vet suggest these ? Back in the summer Beatrice had a skin infection and was prescribe an antibiotic.After finishing the meds and the infection was cleared up,she had soft poop ,for what seemed like months. Then she broke her leg and when she went in for surgery we told the vets about her continuous soft pop ,he put her on a probiotic and within a few days it cleared up.Do you think that the anti-biotics could cause the IBD ?
