I have a chihuahua that was diagnosed with stress induced colitis. She had bloody stools, bad breath and was on different pain meds. She is 8 years old. Her blood work also came back normal, but she still has bloody stools from time to time and does seem in some sort of pain occasionally. My doctor put her on Hills Prescription Diet with stress. It has made a big difference in her stools, digestion and even bad breath. However, I do have 2 other Chihuahuas and sometimes she likes to sneak to eat their food. When that happens, she will start to display symptoms of pain(whining and shaking) and bad breath. I’m almost convinced she many have some type of polyp or cancer in her intestines. And then I have to give her a prescription pain pill. She is also a very nervous dog lately( she grew up with my grandkids, but now she doesn’t want to be bothered by them or any other people except my husband and me) and Dr. Has prescribed Xanax for her to use occasionally.
The Hills ID with stress was the only food that seemed to work good for her. It is expensive, but my hubby says it’s like medicine. Her dr. Visits are less frequent when she is on this food.
