Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

He has had another little go at the nylabone tonight as it was stuffed down the side of my armchair! I do rotate his toys, take some of them up and put them in a box and only let him have so many. Tonight, what's keeping him occupied is the kids table. They have a little Ikea table they use for snacks etc. Its been cleared and wiped clean, but there is something interesting on it and and he has to keep licking it.

Sometimes you just need to be a dog to understand.

Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

Just found out that the Fish 4 Dogs Sea Jerky twists suit Hedley. These are just pure cod skin dried to make a chew. He had one yesterday and is as firm as ever!

In fact the good news is, no poo overnight on the newspaper!!

Fish obviously suits him as its a large component of Chappie.

Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

Ebay, I think the seller is called swallowfoods or something to do with swallow (bird that is). Just do an ebay search for fish 4 dogs. They are the sea jerky twists.

Had a setback today. Tidying up in the kitchen trying to make room and decided to shift some of the dried foods to the back of the cupboard to make way for the tins of chappie. Got distracted by baby, next thing I know Hedley has his head in a bag of dry food and is going for it like crazy. He ate quite a bit because he wouldnt have his Chappie at teatime. This evening, the runs are back. No blood so far but we sometimes see that first thing or overnight. I also heard OH shouting at one of the kids "no, dont give him that" dont know if he had a titbit, OH said it was nothing, but he sticks up for the kids!

Your OH will have to understand that if this dog is going to get better, it will be because you know what he's eaten and what effect it has. It's not a matter of guilt but of being honest so you can all see what effect various foods have. There's more important stuff here than sticking up for the kids.
The dried food clearly doesn't suit this dog. Take what's left to your local rescue or put it in the bin were your pup is safe from it.

Well just proves it is the food and not something more sinister

Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

Back to normal today. Well Burrowzig, if I thought you could get through to my other half I would let you give him a talking to! I have been trying for 30 years and he still hears what he wants and does what he wants. He is a man you see. He isnt an awful lot of use in many practical areas. I could have another rant about the chicken wire on the fence that he only put on one side, and Hedley got through to our neighbours twice today. You see, doing these things isnt as attractive as downloading itunes or watching football on telly.
