would you dose the psyllium by the food volume? split the 1/4 teaspoon over his 3 meals? would I be overdoing it if I included the pumpkin at the same time? I’m thinking of volume & being able to get enough protein & fat in him w/ the fiber…

thank you everyone! Sandy: those are most of the wet foods I’ve tried. Wouldn’t psyllium have the opposite affect? also, any idea on the shelf life of Chia seeds? Patty & Sue: I used to give him Prozyme, but I’ll look into the Protexin. Ironically after reading this on another of your posts: “Metronidazole seems to fix things up but in about 3 months time it all happens again vomiting, bad wind, soft poos about 3 a day, he is also getting stomach acid with it too, I thought Stomach bacteria that gives you bad acid..” I wonder if he’s got a touch of SIBO. Does colitis respond to Flagyl and/or cause acid reflux? I think I’ll need to reach out to my vet for some more Flagyl as Tylosin can’t be taken with his heart meds…

my 13 yr old, 20 lb jrt gets Swanson’s 500mg krill oil daily in addition to a slew of heart meds & 50mg Quinogel Ubiquinol (CoQ10). I didn’t know long term fish oil supplementation could create a vit A surplus…. how much E should be added to balance this? i used to add E as well, but he seemed to particularly dislike the E capsule no matter how well i hid it…
