Thanks again for the posts and the prayers and caring.

The vet has seen it and that was when he put him on the meds and like I said they DO help during the day, but at night they all get out of his system and his morning bowel movement is like the one in that video. I HAVE TO ADD HERE THAT THESE ARE ALSO IMPROVING SOMEWHAT. They are not as severe as what you see in that video...that was BEFORE any meds. Don't know if it makes any difference but I want you all to know the complete history.

Also he only uses the bathroom like this 3 times a day now, always after he eats.

He does seem to be swelled back there but both the vet and the groomer said that his glands don't seem to be the issue. This swelling is what made the vet put him on the prednisone. I know that the Pedigree isn't the best choice but the vet wanted him on something that would normally cause dogs to get loose stools. He will be slowly switched to the IAMS canned food soon.

I don't want you guys thinking for a second that we are careless owners, we have done the tests and everything was fine. The next step is the ultrasound but the present vet wants us to try this for a little bit. He is better during the day...i cannot repeat that enough because the medicine is helping him. He acts normal both during and after a bowel movement during the day.

He is not constipated at all, the consistency of his poop is either as it is in that video or even looser so its not constipation. I will bring up the other things you guys suggest to his vet. The vet is also asking around to see if anyone has ever seen this before.

I am actually thinking of emailing this video to all the vets around me and giving them the background of it. I would just take Thor to the vets but he acts so awful at the vet, as I imagine all dogs would as much as he has been poked. He shakes and is scared and I don't want to put him through numerous vets and fear if they can't help me.

Again thank you all very much for the concern and I promise you we do everything possible to make this babies life HAPPY even though he hurts.
