First Maggie, now Hannah too!?!?!? Hello my friends!!! It's not an emergency but... last friday night Maggie started w/ a little very soft shapeless poop (It was not diarrhea). And about 2 am on sunday, Hannah started pooping soft like Maggie:eek: They both poop several times a day small amounts (sometimes the quantity of a table spoon and other times a tea spoon of poo - Sorry, that was gross:rolleyes:). They don't seem to be in pain and are very active.... They are not eating as much as they use to though... Anyway, they are already on antibiotic and probiotic (w/ lactobacillos(??))... But what I want to ask is if anybody knows of a natural remedy that I could give to help my babies to get better soon... Thanks...:) |
Sometimes probiotics can cause diarrhea. Have you tried rice and or bananas? |

I tried to give them royal canin duck and rice (wet dog food) but they didn't like it very much... I even tried boild chicken and they didn't want it:eek: Ughh... I'm gonna try banana next...I'll let you know what happens... thank you;) |
I always keep baby cereal (rice) and baby food in the house for the dogs. Sometimes they will eat the bananas that way when they won't eat anything else. Are they on probiotics for a specific reason? If not perhaps take them off of them and see what happens. Those little buggers might be too strong and need some getting used to. |
Up date... I tried giving banana last night and this morning and Hannah had only 3 small pieces and Maggie just sniffed and turn her nose on it:( During the night Maggie went potty once and Hannah twice... But Maggie's poo seem better, I could see some "shape" on it - but still very soft.... The probiotic is to help the normal "good" bacterias that colonize the intestines to regulate... It's a very specific probiotic - It can be used even in newborn pups to avoid diarrhea... I'm gonna try the baby food:) Is there any you could suggest?? Thank you, I really appreciate your help:):thumbup: |
I would give a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of pure pumpkin twice a day. You can add a little corn syrup to it to make it taste a little better. Good luck. |

Pumpkin is a good choice. I use Gerber Babyfood. for very young babies. Not toddlers. Did you say they were drinking ok? Keep an eye on them for that and make sure you do get some Karo in them. Good Luck |
I couldn't find canned pumpkin so I bought a small pumpkin and chopped it into small pieces... Now I will have to cook it... But Maggie and Hannah are getting better little by little... They are not pooping so many times a day, and the poops are not so soft anymore... They are drinking water as usual:thumbup: I don't know why but sometimes they eat as usual and other times they don't want to eat anything, not even their favorite food...:confused:Then they act weird like if they are feeling sick...:confused::confused: Thank you:) |
I imagine they are getting tummy aches off and on. You could call the vet and see about giving them some Kayopectate. (I think I spelled that wrong.) My shih tzu is prone to tummy troubles and the vet takes her off food and water fo 24 hours to give her insides a rest, but I think yorkies are to small and delecate to miss a meal and water. |
do they make pumkin in baby food? I never looked. will they eat cooked white rice? |
Pumpkin is a life-saver. I placed tablespoons of pumpkin on a cookie sheet, freeze and then remove to a freezer container for future use. Warmly, Deborah |
