Re: [pyrnet] health diarrhea-long

Hi Sherri-  get some kaopectate, give it to her by syringe.  I dose a 60 lb.
dog about  15 cc's.  Follow up the next day if no improvement-  along with
this, give her some plain yogurt, one a day also... that helps put bacteria
back in the gut- also, brown up some burger and add cooked rice - feed only
that and no regular dog food for a couple days-  you should see some
improvement in a day or so-  good luck!
