LOL Well your vet can prescribe diarsanyl paste that helps coat the intestinal lining and prevent the loose stool into becoming BLOODY loose stool (which will happen if the diarreah doesn't stop). It works like magic, 2 x per day, and hard stool again.
Go to the vet and no fish! |
Thanks for the info~! It is thickening up today. He had rice this am but didn't want the leftovers earlier since it was dried out. Heating it up didn't help. I fixed him 2 scrambled eggs and he loved that~! Are you vegetarian~? It isn't difficult to be vegetarian here with all we have to offer. It is just on a smaller scale than where you are~!

Your dog does need some protein, so I would buy a couple of chicken breasts and cook them up for him. Cottage cheese also works great and it does have protein.
If the runny stools don't clear up quickly, you need to take the dog to the vet.

Thanks for the info~! Glad your on my side with the brown rice. I am totally out of rice and need to go to the grocery as soon as I read my email (just got home an hour ago). I've not heard anyone mention "pumpkin", but will check it out here shortly. I knew I seen "rice" mentioned in the forums before. I won't bring no chicken into the house, or even cook it. I have gotten him some "Chicken Nuggets from McDonald's", but that is the closest to chicken I will get~! I didn't know about "cottage cheese" or "yogurt" and will get some of that too. Also, I know to take him to the Vet when necessary (and a lot of times when it isn't & I don't rely on everything I read here since no one is a Doctor).
