Hi,
the yahoo group is called “IBDogs” they will recommend you do biopsies thru Endoscope, as it’s too much cutting him open to get a biopsies especially if he is very thin, you need a vet who specializes in Intestinal health. Getting Ultra scan will not show up much & can be a waste of money as you can not see the stomach properly, you can see bowel but vet still wont know whats wrong? I’ve heard there’s a 3d Ultrascan now that might be better but not all vets would have the new 3D Ultra scaning…
Has he ever been put on Predisone? sounds like he needs it, Prednisone increases appetite but start with a VERY LOW dose, some vets start on a very high dose which can cause dirahhea, nausea, vomiting & do the opposite to what it should do…
Here’s Dr Judy Morgan DVM pup loaf, I make something similiar, buy some grounded turkey breast or grounded chicken breast mince, put in bowl, add 1 whisked egg, have you ever tried giving him some scrambled egg?? then add some fresh chopped parsley about 1/2 a teaspoon- 1 teaspoon parsley, then I finally chop up some broccoli heads not much, also grate 1 peeled small carrot, mix all together & make 1/2 cup size rissole balls put on foil lined baking tray & bake 15mins take out drain any fat/water turn the rissole balls over & cook another 15mins they cook quickly so do not over cook them.
I boil a peeled cut up sweet potato, small pieces of sweet potatos, sweet potato freezes really good, add 1 rissole ball which is 1/2 a cup & add 1/4 cup cooked sweet potato pieces & mash all together or I put in a blender & blend…
Are you buying BBQ chicken? this can be greezy thats why he might be having diarrhea, better off cooking chicken breast cut into small pieces or Turkey breast cut up into pieces & add boiling jug water & stir & sit in the boiling water until cooked only take about 3-5mins then rinse the chicken breast pieces in a colander & wash off any fat..
Have you tried wet can foods?? if he likes chicken he’d like the Hills I/d Digestive Care Chicken, Rice & Vegetables stew wet can vet diet, its balanced & he will be getting all the nutritents he needs, maybe give up on the dry kibble, its causes pain or does something & now he dislikes it so give up on the dry kibble….
Here’s Judy’s Pup loaf video, you can leave out ingredients you know your dogs cant eat or likes, she has a few easy to make meals on her Face Book site, she uses a crock pot.
