We are going through the same thing with one of our pups. She started with little bouts every 4 months and then back in November got pretty bad. Your vet can probably give the best advice. However, what I have found is that it is trial and error to figure out what works best for each dog. They had Allie on Science Diet W/D and while it cleared up her diarrhea, it was WAY too much fiber for her and her poor tummy was still bloated. She is now on Science Diet i/d low fat and really has done leaps and bounds better with no poop problems so far. Also, for her, a course of tagamet really helped calm things down. Now we do Pepcid as needed.
I think the main thing is to work with your vet to find the right combination that works for your pup. If what they are doing now isn't clearing it up, they should be willing to try out some other options.
Good luck! |
