Tyrone had frequent bouts of colitis when he was younger. Every road trip to family would spur severe attacks, and a vet visit with meds on each end of the trip. Stress (workers in the home, etc.) would frequently lead to an attack.
We have had him on VetriScience Laboratories Probiotic Everyday for Dogs, Digestive Health Supplement (on Amazon) for nearly one year, and he has not had an attack! We do know the signs to watch for, and travel with his Nutramax Proviable Kit for Cats and Small Dogs by Nutramax Laboratories (also on Amazon). One or two days of this paste will knock back an attack if treated at the time of his first loose stool.
Our vet approves of this approach, and Tyrone has gone from serious bouts of colitis several times a year, to being attack-free for over one year! |
