littlefish 586 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Maybe your dog is sensitive to wheat in the dried food. Are you giving it any milk to drink? Milk used to run the guts right through mine - what a mess. Try him on raw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lucylocket 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 My young bitch kept getting colitis attacks,so after vet checked her out and no underlying cause found,I put her on Arkwrights Complete,two spoons of yoghurt.And couple of times a week a teaspoon of kaolin in the food. Vets nurse was trying to sell me Prokaolin and prescription food,at 77 euros a 15kg bag. Vet advised the yog and kaolin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vetnurse 0 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Try worming with a longer course of panacur, giardia is a parasite that is often overlooked, can be picked up from water courses and "foxy" areas. Needs 50mg per kg bodyweight, daily for 3 consecutive days. Some dog have dietary sensitivities, usually caused by gluten intolerance, so cut out all wheat/cereal products. Some highly strung dogs just have "fast" guts, where things move thro a bit too quick, is the dog kenneled with others?? If nothing else works, might try changing the living arrangements but try the simple things first!! Remember common things occur commonly, so always start with the basics. Just read that you feed him with other dogs, try feeding them totally seperatly as stress at feeding time will not help; Edited August 6, 2009 by vetnurse Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vetnurse 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Drontal will NOT deal with giardia!! Has to be a course of panacur. Yoghurt can be helpful, as some people have said, but only use about a teaspoon full every day, too much can also cause diarrhoea, especially if he has trouble digesting dairy products. For the behaviour you describe at meal time it sounds like he's quite fixated on his food, i still think it would be worthwhile feeding your dogs totally seperately, where they cannot even see each other, he may then relax a bit, at least enough to give him time to chew!!!

Hannah4181 260 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Putting a huge stone in the bowl will help slow him down as well, with whatever he is eating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
