Hi Brammie With the Phytoplex Slippery Elm Tabs, if one of the dogs get's a bit of a runny bum - i.e because they may have snuffled something decomposing on walkies, I just give 1 or 2 slippery elm tabs as and when. The Naturezyme is given daily to improve their gut flora and thus enabling them to cope and digest better whatever decomposing bit of grott they may have ingested. Sandra (ps dying to know what you thought about 'The Book' !)

Having just recently lost Skye to epilepsy, one of the things I wished I had done sooner was seek the help of a Homeopathic vet. Skye, was under the care of Richard Allport for just over a year. At his practice in Potters Bar he has various other professionals at his finger tips and does Acupuncture etc. Definitely worth looking into and definitely helped Skye at least have a more comfortable life for the time he had. The other guy who is meant to be very good is Chris Day based in the Oxford area but I think he travels all over the place. Sandra

Hi Brammie Slippery Elm will help put the mucous back in the intestine. Skye (deceased) used to get this and deposit poo covered in 'jelly'. Richard Allport (Homeopathic vet) advised us to give him this: Phytoplex Slippery Elm which is available from http://www.naturalpetcare.co.uk . It is the holistic version of a Rennie for animals. I always make sure I keep it in the cupboard as it comes in very handy. It contains Slippery Elm Bark, Cinnamon Oil, Clove Oil and Peppermint Oil. I also now routinely give all my dogs Naturezyme available from http://www.naturediet.co.uk - again great for dogs with digestive problems - and ' think' better than giving the yogurt. But you mustn't give Slippery Elm at the same time as the Naturezyme because the Slippery Elm will encapsulate the Naturezyme then you'll just be wasting money. You can also get slippery elm powder from http://www.dorwestherbs.co.uk I found both these helped particularly Skye who had the digestive problems and even though he is gone, I still use them. (Ps did you get 'The Book' ok?) Sandra ;)

Yep, Lacy (BC) had teenage acne when she was about the same age. Hers did get infected and so a trip to vet who gave us some cream which certainly sorted her zits out a damn site quicker than I recall mine ever disappearing!!! (few years ago now for me :lol: !) So I'd just keep an eye on them. They can tend to get infected because of where dogs stuff their noses ..... Sandra ;)
