i know i am probly going to get virtually slapped 🙂 for saying this but i am realy conteplating putting stan back on comertial food as he has gone ill again. aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr doG i just wish i knew what was causing it 🙁 :'(

[kizkiznobite]

signs and symptoms hun and whats he had in the last 48 hours

[kerrie and stan]

hi kiz nice to see you back ;D

ok this morning he was panting realy heavy and shaking so i put his straight outside and he had a massive dump. went for short walk and more runny bum, still panting quite heavy but that is normal for him after a walk in the summer. no hot spots and has drank

he didnt eat last night, food was down but he wasnt interested, he did have the knuckle end of a marrow bone during the day though. tuesday he had chick and oats, monday he had chick with few biscuits and sunday he had a little bit of red meat, beef steak.

how quick can the marrow bone go through them? I know it does quick with Honey and even now can give her nice upset tummy  :-\

something will be setting it off, what had he eaten last time he had it ?  :-*

[kerrie and stan]

last time he was set off he was eating butchers pet meat, biscuits, fish, bevs porridge (not all together 😀 ) and eating/ teeth bones oh yes and sunflower oil

[kizkiznobite]

think i said before hun you need to cut down the fat content in his diet – get him off beef for the time being – his gut flora is still adjusting after the last bout – get some pre and pro biotics in him

[kerrie and stan]

he had been on chick for a while that was why i gave him a little bit of beef but i will keep him on chick for a while longer.
pre/ pro biotics do you mean like they one you can buy in tesco?

[kizkiznobite]

pre biotics – live yoghurt – yakult etc – pro biotics – naturdiet do a powder

[GSPmad]

and you never got faeces sample done last time did you?  😉

[kerrie and stan]

no i didnt unfortunatly :-\ gsp

thanks kiz i will start him on that lot

[GSPmad]

might be worth doing it this time.  🙂 take it to the vets and shove it on the front desk and say ‘i want this tested’.  ;D

[kerrie and stan]

think i might have to :-\i can imagine their faces now 😀 😀

[GSPmad]

i think it might be worthwhile putting it in a container before you shove it on the desk.  😀 😀 ;D  unless you really don’t like them….  >:D

[Kerry_and_Beau]

hiya hows tummy now? did you send off a sample?

[kerrie and stan]

hi sorry havent replied sooner. stans tum is a lot better thanks for asking, hes not impressed that hes still on chicken though 😀
unfortunatly i didnt manage to get a test done 🙁 ive had a realy rough time with money lately and i even went and begged my vet to do a test and give me a IOU type thing and they turned me down :'( so i now feel realy bad
