[pyrnet] RE: pyrnet-l-digest.20030813



Our four year old Pyr Farley, has had stomach troubles since he was a
puppy.  Lots of diarhrea, muscos, even some blood. Yes we did have
one bout of Ecoli.  We've tried the rice/burger diet as well as every
type of "allergy" dog food available.  The thing that has finally
cleared him up is BilJac dog food. Since changing to this, his stools
are consitantly firm and smller. He seems to enjoy it too. 

Good luck
Denise, Kris, & Farley
