Guest little lurcher Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 why has the dog got the runs? my whippetx grey is always loose after running hard but just the once more an adrenline thing i think ? i always have a bottle of kaolin in available from most chemists usually a dose or two of that does the trick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherchavvy 3 Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 ive not changed his diet or anything and it wernt nothing to do with running because he was doing before any runs he just did not stop sh*tting and it was starting to irratate me because every 30 seconds he was going it was stop start stop start all day from the moment we left the motor i have never seen a dog sh*t so much in all my life im supprised he had anything left in him if any one has any ideas on what to do it would be appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest little lurcher Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 sounds like he is unwell with it then lol!! bless him , make sure he is drinking plenty as will and can dehydrate very quickly, some will say starve for 24 hrs , others will say offer small amount of bland chicken and rice, that is up to you which you prefer to do , but any feeding must be in a very small amount, if you get a smell so bad it attacks every scent passage you have then id say you had parvo , and to get to vet asap!! that smell is never forgotten and will wipe out a dog in hours his body is trying to shed whatever bacteria is irritating him asap, also a great thing to try to realance the gut is live natural yoghurt, this will assist in the rebalance of the gut flora good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MOLLY Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 If you go coursing regular, it would could be worth you buying some recharge or similar.... http://www.northolm.co.uk/index.php?cPath=...fadb7af2fc530b5 I always use it before during and after a big night lamping. This is also ideal for a dog when is has Diarrhoea to help replace everything it needs without feeding it. MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Royston2 0 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 diarhea bacteria survives by feeding,it can not survive if starved for 24 hours 12 hours aint long enough dont give any remedies as of yet just starve for 24 hours.. ps my saluki bitch gets the shits th moment she gets out of the moter for a run lamp or course has done for 3 years always fine day after might be excitement Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostlyease 17 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have to agree with the above, certainly cant hurt an adult dog that is otherwise healthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurcherchavvy 3 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 honestly if you would of seen him you would of been worried it werent because he was exited because he did it all through the morning stop start stop start stop start when i usually go out he'll have about 4 sh1ts at the most but he was doing one every minute and it was basically water coming out and it stunk so he must of done well over 20 dont't you think thats a bit wrong because i do hes been fine since so im not worried until next time cheers for your answers lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostlyease 17 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) My first thought in that situation is that they had digested something that didnt agree with them and starve them, I would not be overly worried if they was ok in every other way, if it continued being a problem when it was not before then I would be worried.
