Re: [pyrnet] Digestive Issues

Yes,  my Jascha had a delicate stomach most of his life.  Various tests including endoscopy revealed nothing.   Rice and hamurger seemed to settle it most of the time,  sometimes we had to resort to antibiotics when it got really bad.  I learned that a certain smell was as accurate as the lab tests.  Then it was hamburger and rice covered with Metamucil and yogurt for the probiotics and roughage.  Sometimes I just gave him the Metamucil cookies as a preventative treat.  Hubby and dog would snack together quite often.
