RE: [pyrnet] sensitive stomach

[Sherri Artz Gilbert <sartzgilbert@wcet.info>]

My pyr also has/had a sensitive stomach with loose stools and minor vomiting of bile.  Over a year ago, I switch her to Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Venison and Sweet Potato (post Recall) and it fixed her right up. She usually gets diarrhea at the boarding kennel so I have them add digestive enzymes to her food and she hasn't even gotten diarrhea there!!

I am keeping my fingers crossed since this past weekend she pooped in the house 3 times, normal stools.  I am hoping it isn't anything serious.  She has not done it since. She has been house trained since 10 weeks and now, 2 weeks away from 9 yo, this started and hopefully stopped.

Subject: [pyrnet] sensitive stomach

My pyr Roland had a sensitive stomach his entire life, and in his last few
months everything he ate gave him diarrhea.  My vet advised adding
psyllium husk powder to his food - just one heaping teaspoon mixed with
water to a loose paste, then mixed in with the dry/canned food he normally
ate.  This was all he needed to firm up his stools.  We bought the
psyllium husk powder in the whole foods store. -- EC
