Muggsy recently went through a bout of bad colitis diarrhea. Had the vet do a fecal, UA & blood work to rule out other causes. I guess I knocked Muggsy’s system out of whack by switching his 1/2 Party Animal canned grain free & 1/2 home cooked diet around too quickly.
With held food for 24 hrs & then gave him boiled rice & beef (a novel protein for him). I also always just used pumpkin & dig enzyme/probiotics, but to no avail this time. Still had issues so I got some Vetri-Science Fast Balance. This stuff worked like magic!!! No more diarrhea !!!
I keep it on hand now. I’ve needed it once ’cause I took him to the bank & the bank ladies gave him Milk Bones <sigh> (I figure it’s like letting your kid have McDonald’s) & he had some soft poo. One dose of Vetri Science & back on track!! I’m sure I”ll need it when I transition him from beef/sweet potato to turkey/quinoa.
The vet said it’s not hard to get a dog’s gut bacteria out of sync. If your vet rules out all other causes, see what they think about the Fast Balance.
