redangel Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Miss Rosie has got gastro...we had visitors over the weekend and I think she had too many treats...I have had to leave her in her crate (much to her annoyance) her crying & jumping is getting to me. As a rule I know "never feed a sick tummy" are there other remedys I can offer her. She is elsewise normal, running and playing this morning, wanting breakkie...

becks Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 have you got any prokolin or kaogel to settle the tum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redangel Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 I guess that is a substance that lines the gut & slows motility? Guess i need to find an Australian branding....any ideas? I want to give her a chance to get over this without antibiotics, she is jumping arounds as normal but has very loose motions & urgency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 vets will sell it - just ask for whatever they treat diarrhoea with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Is she in her crate for any reason. Added stress may mean a longer recovery especially if there a clean dog & need to empty out . Just go to the chemist & buy floramax tablets to realign the good gut bacteria. There are plenty of options for the runs most vets will sell scourban or similar it just depends on how bad it is You can still feed her if need be just something very light ,we use chicken mince & Pumpkin .Some dogs just don't do the full starve well & need a little something to settle others 24 is no big deal.

persephone Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 can't you leave her outside? plenty of water... maybe some activated charcoal tablets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redangel Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 They are in their crates because they will sleep. They are extremely active and will follow me from room to room and im trying to minimise the damage. They do not tolerate outside very well. Is the pumpkin added for a reason Showdog? I understand the food has to be bland...Ive always used chicken & rice. Have phoned my vet hoping to get on his house calls today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donatella Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Pumpkin is the magic pop remedy for dogs, it softens up hard poop and helps form dihorrea I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Boiled rice and poached (boiled not stolen! ) chicken does the trick here. Usually a couple of days. It's gentle on the stomach and helps them get over it. Personally I don't feed the dog for the first 24 hours and then give them the chicken and rice.

Guest english.ivy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Cooked and mushed pumpkin does the trick in my house, for the dogs of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redangel Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Looks like pumpkin might just make the menu here...no end to what I learn in this forum! The vet called in last night and thinks it could be a protozoan infection / stress by having house guests so they are on antibiotics for the interim. They are very bright and bubbly this morning so I will offer them the pumpkin/chicken mix later this morning. Thanks all for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
