To be honest i find it very hard to starve my little man for more than half a day cos my other half is a pain in the a**, he cant resist feeding him!!!

Well he has been on sensitivity for 4 days and canikur. He started back of his normal diet this am and so far has been solid. Im thinking that he is back to normal now

Thanks for your comments/advice tho

Don't starve.... see above post and send away a 3 day sample for analysis especially for campylobactor and giardia........ especially if they are prone to eating duck and goose poo or equivalent...........

which is worse- too much knowledge or too much?

when my dog had to have an mri for a head tilt all i could think was that she had a brain tumour.

i don't often recommend starving for 24hrs any more as I have seen better results with just switching to a bland diet. The new(ish) thinking i was told is that diarrhoea is generally caused by overgrowth of the nasty bacteria or undergrowth of the good bacteria in the gut. Probiotic and a a bland diet will flush out the bad and stimulate the good while not giving the guts too much work to do. If you starve the gut then it goes a bit hyper when food is re-introduced and the D+ will last longer as they calm down again.

Oh I am shocking, esp cause my dog is an eater...eats anthing nice and putrid out on a walk...oh course I am paranoid to the point that I always assume its poison, calculating how long I have to get him to a vets, mentally going thru all the poisons and how long they act, symptoms etc....terrible!

I'm a bit of a paranoid panicking owner. The worst time for this was when Daisy pig had a nose bleed...i ended up phoning VetsNow at something like 11pm cos i was panicking (thanks Sam ), felt rather silly lol!!! Took her to work the next day...nothing at all wrong with her!

Thank the lord im not alone!!! I ALWAYS imagine the worst! Cant help it.

He is really well in himself so im hoping its nothing major, it shouldnt be really. My boss (who is also his breeder, so is very protective over him) is going to check him out this afternoon. We sell something that aids digestion, cant remember what its called, i want to say canikor (??!). Might be given some of that.

Yes, canikur pro paste.. its basically the same as promax.. helps aid digestion

How is he doing?? x

i am sort of the worrying kind( so i am told) but my vet friends are all of the opinion - 'give them a day or two to get over it' - when it comes to examining either of the dynamic duo. (esp B who reckons they have less fight in them when they are genuinely ill).

Two of my cats were puking yesterday after I tried to introduce a new food...

Before the first one had finished hacking up her first pile, I was already rooting in the drawers for their insurance papers, digging out the cat carrier and cursing in tongues at the fact you can't use ambulances for pets...

I'm the worst of the worst when it comes to my own!

No common sense, no rationale, no brain (that's normal though )

I just panic lol

I'm absolutely the same. I once raced back to work with Jack thinking he had a collapsing trachea as he was making an awful noise.

I arrived in a panic, all flustered and upset. The vet took one look and said "He's got kennel cough, you silly mare!"

Whoops, need to get panic mode in check!

Aw bless him.. could it be colitis? I hope he gets better!! do you sell products such as promax paste?? It helps aid digestion.. let us know how you get on

And Yes!!!! that happens to me everytime Jess or Milo are ill.. I just get my 'worried owner' head on & dont think streight.. It's only when the vet recommends something that I'm like 'oh yeah!' Lol!!
