RE: [pyrnet] Chronic Diarrhea

This is very possible because she is a skitsy dog.  This all happened about
the time our house went on the market.  We normally don't get many visitors
and the house was on the market about 2 weeks with several showings before
it sold with inspectors, appraisers  and repairmen coming in also.  Then we
moved.  I was also under an extreme amount of stress, then she was boarded
for twice in June.  I think I'll try the tylan!
Thanks,
Sherri

Subject: [pyrnet] Chronic Diarrhea


One of my pyrs had a problem with chronic diarrhea several years ago and we 
finally decided it was *stress* related.  The diarrhea occurred if we had 
doggy visitors or went anywhere there were other dogs, if we travelled to 
visit family or friends or just about any time something in the routine was 
changed.  I'm not sure it was so much food related, but we tried a number of

different diets as well.  The dog was tested and we gave a number of 
different meds.  Our vet finally suggested the Tylan powder and that's what 
we've been using since April 2000.  In fact, I just started on our 3rd tub
of 
powder.  I use 1/4 tsp. daily and mix it in with cottage cheese and dry
food. 
 I haven't missed a dose since we started using this and we haven't had one 
single case of diarrhea either.  I remember asking the list about using
Tylan 
when it was first mentioned to us and several people replied that this is 
commonly used in kennels to prevent diarrhea, which apparently is common
when 
dogs are boarded.  So count me among the satisfied customers of the Tylan 
powder.  I buy mine through the KV Vet catalog.
