Tara8430 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Abs has had an upset tummy for a few days, she's has a case of the runs, she's eaten something wrong again not sure what although it can happen sometimes when I give her chicken that hasn't been frozen. Anyway I fasted for about 15 hrs before she got so hungry she brought up clear "I'm empty" spit/bile. I have given slippery elm since Friday and now only ver small portions of boiled chicken and rice, twice a day, skippy elm is 1 capsule twice a day. Anyway being the weekend at the fact that it's 3am and I just clean up another small "accident". ( poor baby) does anyone have any recommendations? She's still happy she's very starving and I just thought the slippery elm should have started firming things up a bit more by now, it's only ever taken 1 capsule before and it's brought her back good.

Sheridan Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Why are you giving slippery elm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 It is good for upset tums Sheridan ( http://www.totallynatural.com.au/slippery-elm-powder.html ) I don't usually use it, I just give 1/2 charcoal tablet (1/2 a tablet is about the amount for Westies) for a couple of days, that usually does the trick.

Guest Maeby Fünke Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I thought it was for inflammation of the bowel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara8430 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I've read that it helps diarrhea plus helps sooth the digestive tract and bowel inflammation. http://www.holvet.ne...ppery_soup.html It is a soothing nutritive herb which is perfectly suited for sensitive or inflamed mucous membrane lining of the digestive system. The bark contains mucilage and tannins that act as demulcent, emollient, protectorant, and astringent. You might think of it as a soothing internal bandage coating the digestive tract for its entire length. Imagine the relief for your pet to have a jelly-like coating soothing in an eosophagus (food pipe) burned by acrid vomitus, or in an ulcerated colon. Anyone have any other ideas, im not feeding her this morning had a hell of a night nothing's staying in and it's not even looking like its heading towards firming up. She's had a big drink and is starving, god I hate diarrhea. Caught her with a green tomato yesterday and there has been little mushrooms popping up everywhere which I've been trying to keep ontop of....god know what she's been into.

WreckitWhippet Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'd go with a dose of Scourban or Peptosyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Scourban is by far the best in my experience. Any reason why you haven't gone to a vet? Edited February 23, 2013 by dogmad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara8430 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Are they available in pet shops? I've used peptosyl before but not scourban. Vets closed its the weekend that's why I was asking for recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maeby Fünke Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 If it's been a few days, I would take her to the vet tomorrow. Last night Poppy ate a dead thing on our walk... I have no idea what it was, it was getting too dark too see, but it was probably a bird. She is so fast at grabbing them and wolfing them down. I'm not looking forward to what's going to come out the other end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara8430 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Yeah I will just wanted her to feel a bit better, poppy is a lab isn't she so you know my pain. Abs is good not picking things up but if birds drop things in our yard well they get eaten. I'll fast her till this evening she hasn't eaten since 7 last night. Might go to petbarn this morning see if they have anything, I regret being out of peptosyl now, she hasn't had the runs I'm ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
