Jay Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 It sounds to me like a touch of colitis. Blaze my collie x gets it from time to time and a previous collie I had suffered with it. Can be stress related, usually a bland diet sorts it out. Just my opinion, no expert. Juliex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Posted January 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hes been showing stress signs since he hurt his leg so you may be right. Pasta for him from now on then (obviously if it continues he will go to the vet ) Thank you Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 sounds like the joys we had when misty first arrived which was colitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greys mum Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Sounds like colitis to me as well. Blue has it and sometimes there is blood in with the mucus. If you get worried over frequency have a word with your vet. Edited January 24, 2006 by greys mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raceylacy Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) 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 ;) Edited January 26, 2006 by raceylacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raceylacy Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 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.
