| Thank you everyone for your replies!! I took him to the vets (even though he is much better) and its a bout from stress apparently as everything the vet tested for came out negative thankfully. Poopies are forming WAY better and are smelling better (sorry). His vet says its because his movements weren't absorbing well that it smelled so bad. He is not dehydrated, but vet recommended diluted pedialyte to be on the safe side. Either way, although he is doing much better, we are getting a second opinion on Monday. Re his colitis, I give him nothing but that and it breaks my heart because I know he hates it. I would love to buy, cook, bake him any treats that work for his condition but am too worried to try. The vet said anything (veggie/fruit) that is high fiber is okay- but I would love to hear your guys' suggestions! Thank you all again for all the wonderful advice! We really appreciate being able to come here for help, prayers, and advice! |

Awhile back, someone here recommended this for ulcerative colitis, also for IBS: VSL#3 - The probiotic medical food for the dietary management of ulcerative colitis or an ileal pouch. It needs to be refrigerated & it's pricey. But if you've tried everything else & nothing worked, I think this is worth a try. The unflavored powder form would be best & only 1/4 of a teaspoon a day can be mixed in w/their food. I got benebac plus from amazon. Mine all get soft poopies whenever I give them probiotcs...not sure why, I don't give them a lot of it either. So I only give it to them if they're on antibiotics. If you do a search here, you'll find many threads on probiotics.

| Having just had one pup out of the Animal Hospital for a bout of Hemorrahgic Gastritis and the other one having a very similar condition which the Vet has deemed as food sensitivity I feel I can readily answer a few of your concerns Diarrhea with these little guys can get out of hand really fast so always be on the look out for dehydration or bleeding in their stools If they are not eating with diarrhea or especially if they don't want to drink .... the Vet must know immediately As far as the chronic intestinal condition ..... you're going to get to know your pup in and out .... I know when my Mike refuses food a bout of it is going to happen ... I give him a low dose Pepcid .... you can get it at the Pharmacy Most of the time this nips it right in the bud
