Hi,

My Gracie suffers from chronic colitis....it can take a while to clear up. From what we have found the perscription diet is the best way to go. Gracie eats Royal Canin IVD Vension formula. Yes it is expensive but the cost of taking care of a severe bout of colitis can be far more, believe me her last bout cost well over a thousand dollars to clear up. My pet insurance covers 25% of her food so that takes some of the sting out of the cost. My vet also perscribes 1/2 tsp of metamucil with each of her meals as well as 1/4 a tablet of pepcid 2x a day. The fiber actually helps firm up her stool and lessons the potential for loose stools. Talk to your vet about adding the fiber it may do some good.

by the way what kind of perscription food is your dog eating ?
