Diarrhea (tmi)
« on: November 17, 2014, 03:53:02 PM »
Riley needed out early  on Saturday morning,  it was a lot of it , softish, not the runs though.
The next poo was soft but not so bad. Kept him on chicken that day.
Sunday morning he had a really rumbling tummy, wouldnt eat breakfast then had a short walk and did have breakfast as he was then fine.

Monday had breakfast usual of eden and little bit chicken raw mince went out for walk and had a normal poo.

This afternoon he hasnt had any more food expect a spoonfull of scrambled egg at 12ish,
He has just went to the garden and had full on runs. Really proper diarrhea this time.
He is acting fine in himself.

The only thing is last week he had some of a natural farmfood rawhide chew, now  you can see what am thinking here.
Really not sure whether to visit the vet or wait and starve him and see how he goes.

I would give the vet a call if it were me. Just to check that they are happy with the regime. I don't know about your vet but mine don't advocate starving dogs anymore. Something to do with keeping the guts working. I cannot give my two chicken when they have diarrhoea, it makes them worse! Hope you get to the erm...bottom of it!

Maybe try white fish not oily fish (cod haddock and white rice).
Cocker kisses and cuddles just make my day!


You are always with me darlings Jaypup and my precious Oliver you are so missed

Could try Dorwest Tree Barks powder or slippery elm from Holland &Bsrrett. Having the same problem with Dylan at the moment. Giving him white fish, you can buy frozen skinless and boneless from most supermarkets. Also tinned pumpkin, must be unsweetened. Have also given Dylan goats yoghurt.

Hope Riley feels better soon.

Poor Riley :-*

I use Dorwest Tree Barks Powder to help and feed scrambled egg, or poached chicken breast or white fish for a day or so.

I hope it wasn't the FarmFood rawhide. Louis usually does a larger than usual and slightly softer poo afterwards (apologies to anyone eating their tea :005:) but he's never had an upset tummy, let alone diarrhoea.

Erica, is Dylan feeling any better now? I saw your Facebook post earlier today.

Thanks Elaine, the only time we had this ever was his first few days we brought him home at 9 weeks old. Hes never had full on diawotsits ever. I will get some of the powder and feed light.

Yes I gave him a tiny bit of the prokolin last night , found it in his box and it wasnt opened.
Was up every two hours with him , poor little mite.
He hasnt been since 6am so thats the longest now he has gone. Will wait till lunchtime before deciding if a vet visit in needed.
