My dog has been dealing with idiopathic IBD for more than a year and a half.
She went 7 months without a flare up and I thought maybe we were over it.
2 emergency visits within 1 month proved otherwise.
She’s back on i/d and added boiled organic chicken until I can figure out what food to try next.
This vet gave us Purina Fortiflora probiotics to take daily. She said it’s fine to give it for the rest of her life.
Recently one of my other dogs was vomiting & regurgitating and had diarrhea for a couple days. She never has belly issues. On the bland diet she went and I added THK Perfect Form. After the first meal with it she was much better. After the 2nd meal she’s good as new. I’m considering adding it to the meals for my girl with IBD from now on.
Another thing that makes a huge difference is exercise. Even if it’s just walking a few minutes a couple times/day. It helps with gut motility. (Obviously you don’t want them doing any exercise 30 min-1 hr before or after meals.)
