to be honest, i can’t say if he was tested for SIBO–i do remember there was some kind of “bad” bacteria that was showing up in his fecal test, but all blood work was normal. they did test him for something that starts with a “G” I think, which was negative–i believe a parasite.

he has been taking the Tylan (i/4 tsp) once per day (although it was prescribed twice per day) for a few months now–i have heard of other dogs that stay on it for life–but the vet hasn’t told me yet if she wants him weaned off of it–i will be calling for a refill soon (this will be third one) and i guess i will find out then.

I have noticed that charlie is drinking lots of water–during the summer i attributed it to the weather (its very vey hot where we live) but i wonder if its related to the food? or the tylan…

i do use a slow feeder as he has a tendency to inhale his food and then he burps–the slow feeder doesn’t slow him down much though so i do try to parcel out the food in a couple of batches to help digestion
