Hi Chris,
My dog, Jasper, has what must be considered the most sensitive tummy in the world. He gets into something before I can get to him, and we will go throw a solid week of intense diahhrea, sometimes vomiting, but otherwise normal behaviour. I have taken him to the vet many times. While the anti-diarhal helps a lot..flagyl (metronidizole), I have to do this:

No food whatsoever for a full 24 hours. None. Then, we go on a plain boiled rice and greenbeans for 3 days, and this is small amounts. Jasper normally eats one cup twice a day. When he is on the green bean/rice diet, it is a half cup mixture, twice a day. When the 5th day comes around, I offer him 3-4 small meals, maybe 1/4 cup (so one fourth of his normal meal) 3 or four times a day. He also eats a special, limited ingredient diet, sweet potato and fish, as those are seemingly less allergy'ish than others.

Every day for dinner, he gets one omega 3 pill, and a allergy pill. If I keep him away from everything else, he is ok, but if he eats something outside- it is devastating to him. This summer, he literally broke out of the house, through a window screen, to get outside to do his business during the day. In the process, he took out most of the other screens, too. It seems to stress him out, which only contributes to the problem.

The no food for 24 hours cannot be encouraged enough. It gives the gut time to calm down.

Good luck!!

Johanna

I'm sorry to read about your Bobby. I hope you and your family cope with the sad time. Our Yorkie died last monday, (Boxing Day), so I know where you are right now.

Bobby, please have a smooth trip to Rainbow Bridge. You will have many friends there to greet you.

Chris, this must be an oh so difficult time. We all will be there some day, with our current pets. Be strong. You are doing the right thing.

Happy Trails Bobby dearest.

I am so sorry your Bobby couldnt get better. I know firsthand what it is like to have vet come to the house and "do the deed". It broke my heart years ago and I should have done it earlier. You love Bobby enough to let him go. I have tears in my eyes thinking about it. You are in my prayers. Kay in NC

I am so sorry to hear that Bobby has gone downhill. It's a tough decision to make but our responsibility to keep our fur babies comfortable and know when the time has come.

(((hugs))) to you and Bobby. He is a much loved member of PT and I know dearly loved by you.
