Hi Susan and cockaliermom! Susan she has been eating the tylan powder for over 5 years now in the wet food and always gobbles it up. I mix it in there very well. There is no way I can get a capsule in her mouth. This dog is one of a kind LOL Maybe Cockaliermom has a point maybe they did change something in the food. When I tell you this is her favorite part of the day when she gets this wet food I mean it. It’s something she is smelling in the food. I was going to try the Buffalo because I heard that it’s a good second choice. Thanks for the info!

OK I will give my vet a call and mention it to her. I didn’t think it was a big deal because believe me there is nothing wrong with her appetite. She eats very well and there is no unusual behavior except that she doesn’t seem to care for her food anymore. She smells it for a long time so I don’t know if something changed in their recipe or if she is able to sniff out the medication all of a sudden? Its very strange. Thanks for your reply! I’ll call tomorrow.

My shitzu/maltese has colitis. My doctor recommended Natural balance LTD sweet potato & venison formula. So far this has really worked for her. I have to also mention she is on Tylan powder for about 5 years now everyday. Her flair ups were still happening quite often. When they were really bad the doctor would give me a tube of endurosyn which works well to help her heal after a bad bout. I took it upon myself to start her on Purina Proplan FortiFlora and I have to say since she’s been on this probiotic her flare ups (when they do happen) are not as intense. No blood where as before she would have bloody stool for almost 2 days.

My question is she has lost her taste for the sweet potato & venison. It’s like one day she just decided she doesn’t like it anymore. Before that she would kill for her wet food. I only give it to her in the evening so I can get her medicine and probiotic into it. I may have to change and was wondering if anyone could recommend another wet food for me to try her on. She still enjoys the LTD sweet potato and venison dry food. She eats that with no problem I just find it strange she forces herself to eat the wet food now. I would appreciate any suggestions anyone has.
