Been to vets this afternoon as he's still not quite his usual energetic self, and he passed something this morning which was basically just pink mucus... (TMI, sorry)! We have antibiotics, probiotics and to give him a chicken and rice diet for a week. Poor boy  :'(

Thanks again for the advice everyone

Hya just an idea if he gets fed up with chicken and rice, you could try alternating it with boiled white fish and rice, When Minstrel had colitis he was prescribed Insulox (sp/) tablets and they seemed to do the trick quite quickly - but do finish the course...or symptoms my return.

 I imagine you got Prokolin too,  I always keep a tube of this in the cupboard, it works great if dog's tums are upset.

Hope he feels better really soon  :luv:

Good idea thanks, I was wondering about alternatives actually as we've been treating him with chicken since day one, don't want him to get fed up of it! Can he have scrambled egg do you think?

Yeah we got the prokaolin as well, nasty stuff! I guess it must be flavoured with something as he didn't seem to mind eating it, looks like polyfilla to me!!

Scrambled egg should be fine I would think. But don't make it with butter or milk. I have a non stick saucepan - or I believe you can cook it in the microwave  but cannot remember times and settings, it comes out resembling omlete.

I squeeze the prokolin on the meals and mix it in.

I found chicken didn't agree with Charlie - so instead of chicken and rice I do mince (fried then dried with kitchen roll) and rice. Or mackerel and pasta :)

Give him time, you know how we feel after the runs - no energy, sleepy, I guess it affects them the same way. Hope the poops were firmish ones

Chappie in cans is a good food to give them when like this as well - it has white fish and chicken in it and sometimes easier than having to cook up rice/chicken/fish/potato all the time

I also give scrambled egg (made with water) as well for poorly dogs/pups or when they're too loose

We've a local source of fresh hen's eggs, straight from the hens  :005:, and have found that a raw egg helps with upset tummies. We just crack it open onto a plate and it's gone in seconds  ;).

We were advised to cook eggs when they have the runs.  The vet said raw eggs have a laxative effect while cooked eggs have the opposite effect  :dunno:
