I have a holistic vet and she recommends to make plain white rice but use 4 times as much water. So say 1/2 cup rice 2 cups water. Boil the rice for the required time I usually do it a little longer. You will get a white watery liquid. Let this liquid cool down and it will become a goo/paste and give the goo/paste with the meals. I add a little of the rice but it is the goo/paste that does the trick. This really has helped Buster when he was having colitis issues. She also recommends giving apple without the peel she says the pectin in apples helps bind them. I also have Buster on Jarrow Petdopholis to keep his system running smoothly. Good luck. I hope things firm up!
