Looks Like We're Off To The Vets Again

Bruno's not well again, he has got watery diarrhea, he has had 4 bouts of it. I didn't know whether to feed him or not, so i gave him a handful this morning and it stayed in, gave him another handful lunchtime but its all come out

Trying not to go into worry head panic situation. But at the moment i am not going to feed him anymore today and leave plenty of water down for him He only seems to do it after he's been fed and he's been on the same food for about 4 weeks now,so it can't be the food.

Yesterday i took him up on the main road so that was new that was early morning, then rest of the day he was sleeping,eating and playing late afternoon he did a poo which ended up a bit diarrheary then just at 6pm after his dinner, omg he farted in the kitchen and it went everywhere, then about another 2 or 3 hours he done another load, and a load during the night which he managed to get some under our freezers which i have cleared up. then he had breakfast then lunch at 12pm and now it is all come out, sorry for so much info.

I leave about 6 hours between his feeds.

Any advice ? would be grateful

Oh poor poor Bruno.....( and you for being the one who has to deal with it all )
Can't offer any help sorry, but I hope Bruno starts to feel better really soon

Thank you

You may be better starving him for the rest of the day, then buying some chicken breast and long grain rice, cook the chicken in plain water and cook the rice till soft, wait for it to go cold, then chop chicken up and mix with some rice, keep him on this diet until his poo's are solid again, then slowly re-introduce his usual food with the chicken & rice until he's back just on his normal food.

Poor Bruno and poor you, it's not nice cleaning it up is it?

Been going through the same thing with Moo for about a year now!!!

Firstly have him checked out so you can count out anything medical, which I have had done, nothing showed with her, then I had to trial and error on foods which has helped to a degree but she still continues to have the runs

I would try starving him, I think I had too anyway before her tests. Poor Bruno its not nice and poor you cleaning it up, it does go everywhere, unfourtunatly all over cream carpets isn't the easiest to clear up

Good luck at the vets and let us know.

0h poor Bruno and poor you. I hope he gets better soon.

They are just like us and people sometimes do have things that effect them in the same way chrones disease,celiac ect not sure if there is any connection to animals. But he is only a little mite probably into everything and its suprising what they pick up just moniter him

Aww bless the poor little boy hope he gets better soon feel sorry for you having to clean it as well x

Debbie- Thank you not its not nice cleaning it up

Janey - fourtunatly for us, he does it in the kitchen which is just tiles but its till not nice to clean up, hmmmm on cream carpets not good.

We've got an appontment at 5.40 tonight

Thank you all

hope dear little Bruno gets on okay at the vets and they can help you all.

I have heard rice and pasta is good to feed doggies with the trots as it binds them up.

If your vet works miracles then let me know pleeeeeeeeease!!!

Hi Anne

Just found this whilst on the net, it may be of some help;

http://www.wellvet.com/diarrheadog.html

hope everything goes ok for tonight, give bruno a big hug from me & billy

Thank you Everyone

I'll have a look at that site , thank you debbie

Janey - Think she will give us some Pro-Kolin that binds it up within 2 or 3 days worked last time, i wish they could just give me the stuff without seeing the vet

Debbie - that's a good site , i have bookmarked it

Poor Bruno, hope he feels better soon!

Thank you

Hope bruno feels better soon

How did you get on at the vets Anne?
Glad the link I put on here may be of help, how's Bruno now?

Hi, we had a similar thing with Sophie who had an upset tummy at about three and a half months. The vet prescribed Pro Kolin which didn't seem to help. He followed it up with antibiotics.

She was originally eating Wainrights puppy food but the vet advised us not to starve her for more than half a day because she was so young.

The antibiotics did the trick and we were advised to give her chicken and rice for the next few days and change her onto Chappie permanently. Vet also said we could moisten it up a bit with some gravy which will keep her hydrated as she is not a great drinker.

She now has a diet of half and half Chappie and Butchers puppy (both canned) with a drop of weak gravy and she is now five and a half months and apart from that short episode her tummy is perfect.

Hope Bruno feels better soon.

Have you tried arrowroot and honey, there is a thread on here "How to examine a dog?" on how much to mix etc, just an idea. Here's wishing Bruno a speddy recovery.

yeah hope Bruno gets better real soon !!

Thank you both

He's alot better, his no2's turn back to normal yesterday morning

but he's still eating it, but i now have pineapple chunks but my next questions is how much and when do i give them to him ?

can't help you there I'm afraid!
I can't imagine Jethro eating pineapple.. But I hope Bruno does !
