Diarrhea

Hiya

Don't know whether this is right section or it should go in the health section

Bruno has Diarrhea, he has 3 lots of it today, 3 one was a bit more solid.

He's not eating too much at the moment ie like today he was fed at 6am but didn't really want it, so took it up after 15 minutes, offered again at 10am and he ate the whole lot, fed again at 2.30 but he was really hungry has few monthfuls so again i took it up, fed him at 5.45pm and he ate the whole lot. He's drinking water but not in great lots like he usually does.

Just wondering if he's drinking more than he's eating will this cause his no2's to be runny ?

wouldnt of thought so what food is he on at the minute? if mine has an upset stomach he gets raw chicken that sorts him right out he gets raw food a few times a week anyway but if hes got the runs he gets some raw chicken if he hasnt had any already

He's eating James Wellbeloved.


He's his normal self, running around trying to get the kids feet and playing with his toy and running in and out the house. Trouble is he eats anything that is on the floor ie newspaper mainly and whatever is outside, we try to take anything that he shouldn't have out his mouth before he has chance to eat it, we just moved a computer table as he been biting away at that.
i hoover every day but he still manages to find something on the floor to eat.

They always find something Anne Milly has had the odd bout of diarrhea i just watched her and tried to make sure she drank and it seemed to settle but keep a eye on him and if you are concerned ring the vet.

ok : )

he's just had an hour or so kip followed by a long drink. Perhaps he's just having a off day .

Hope he better soon xx

Thank you xx

Well whatever was wrong, seems to have cleared itself up, were back to producing logs this morning

ok cancel that, we're back to diarrhea .

perhaps he's having a reaction to the food as we change the flavor of his food.

we're feeding the turkey and rice and the guy in the shop said sometime this flavour does play havoc with their tummy's so we're going to get a small bag of lamb and rice tomorrow and see how he goes, because his no2 was alright when i came down but after i fed him it was really runny and watery , apparently i didn't see it

I wouldn't worry too much Moo suffered Diarea really badly, all over the house overnight, was gross. You could try starving Bruno for 24 hours? Its what the vet told me to do. Then any bug can pass. x

My oh said it started off lumpy then when runny, but yeah i might starve him till tomorrow morning , see how he goes

hope things get back to normal soon

Try some Arrowroot. Either sprinkle it on his food (about 2 tablespoons) or mix it with some water & a spoonful of brown sugar in a saucepan & bring it to the boil, stirring constantly. As soon as it starts to thicken take it off the heat & allow it to cool. It should be really thick & gloopy, like gel.

It will calm his stomach & help to push through anything that's irritating it without any side effects.

Thank you for the advice caryll , i'll try that

Sorry to keep updating but got noone else here to talk to except my daughter.

Bruno just been for a no2 as daughter gave him few of biscuits for being a good boy outside (wee) and it start off running as he walked hahha bless him then turn a bit more solid so perhaps that's a good sign

Apart from the arrowroot (if you try it) I'd give him nothing at all today, not even treats/biscuits. If he looks really hungry, you could try some boiled rice just to fill his tummy a bit, but not too much, as eating too much can give them the runs anyway!

Don't worry about posting loads - that's what the forum's here for!

Dillons poos variate one minute sloppy next logs. He is a nightmare for snaffling stuff off the floor, my partner said the council should pay us! I've pulled tea bag, nanana skins, orange peel out his mouth. other day he managed to get a wine gum, which, was firmly stuck to the floor, he'd been after it for a couple of days. He wouldnt' come back other day, coz he'd found bread put out for birds. Anyone would think he'd never been fed!

Tell me about it - it was a slimy, rotten banana skin that landed Dempsey in the vets hospital for three days last year!

..hope little Bruno is on the road to recovery when you read this....

thank you Vanessa, he's 100% better now

So glad to hear that. It is always a worry when something is not right. Give him a cuddle for me !

Sure will
