Does anyone else's yorkie suffer from colitis and do you have any tips?

Our 3 year old has suffered from this for a couple of years now and isnt constant but would like any advise/tips people might have

Thank you

Yes. My TJ has IBD. Lately his poop is encased in mucus

I am adding more fiber to his diet (canned pumpkin), and he gets VSL#3 every morning. (1/20th of packet)

VSL#3 - The probiotic medical food for the dietary management of ulcerative colitis or an ileal pouch.

Cali has had it for 4 years. I keep her on a strict diet of her dog food and treat. Any changes set her colitis off.

I think Ava might have it. I switched her food, and she had some blood and mucus in her poop. It cleared up in a few days on it`s own just like the time before. I assume this kind of thing isn`t normal, and it could be chronic colitis?

We have put her on Royal Canin sensibal mini and has really helped and she has boiled chicken and rice for her dinner unfortunatly the chicken and rice was only ment for after she was spayed but the little rascle wouldnt eat nothing else when we tried to stop her (yes we are under the thumb) We find if she gets cold her colitus can start again does this happen with any of yours?
