Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I haven't been exactly sure what's caused it, but Koda's been having the runs for the last day or so. It wasn't even normal diarrhea after a while-this slimy stuff would come out later in the day. He had it pretty bad Saturday morning about 3am first, and again all day in about 2-4 hour intervals up until about 7-8ish. I thought he was fine, so I had gone over a friend's to study in peace, but I received a text saying he was beatboxing in his crate (his usual "I gotta go-NOW!" sign) about 12:48ish am. By the time I made it home though, it was too late. Nice sized "mud pie" in the front left part of his crate, and he darn near destroyed the thing to get away from it. He curled both front corners of the bottom of the crate up (has a slip in tray he lays on) in an attempt to escape, but it also kept him from stepping in it. I spent the next 2 hours washing his crate cover, scooping doo, mopping the tile with various cleaning agents, and washing his feet.
He has a habit of grazing in the kitchen, trash area, and in the living room so if my roomies drop anything it's fair game. I know I saw him eat a small black thing one day in front of the garbage can and it's been hell ever since. This is similar to that time I had given him some all natural jerkey from Canyon Creek Ranch-he was fine for weeks on it, then all of a sudden bubble guts. I've been occasionally giving him new treats for training, but it's too early to tell what's causing it. I've kept him hydrated and left only kibble so he'll have something to push out whatever's in his system. I think I'd like to try using pumpkin, but I don't know what brands to get. Would Walmart have any? |

| Did you check and see if any foods had a recall?
Sounds like my mal but I took her to the vet and she had Giardiasis. |

Brand doesn't matter as long as it is not pumpkin pie filling. You don't want the spices in it. Just plain 100% pure pumpkin. Now that I think about it though, I don't ever recall seeing any other brand excpet Libby. |

| Pumpkin is great for firming up runny pooh. You can also use yogurt. But it doesn't solve the real issue if there is one. If there is a cause beside a simple doggie flu/cold then pumpkin won't cure the problem. If you have other symptons with the runny pooh, you really should call the vet first. If not, then alot of us try a bland diet with pumpkin for a few days and then reintroduce regular food. Most of the time, that works, but if it doesn't, then you will still need to seek a vet. |

Oh okay. I would give my dogs yogurt, pumpkin is a new one for me. I agree, I took maggie to the vet and she had giardiasis. We got her on the medication right away. |

| The vet techs always recommended Yogurt for mine as well. I found out about pumpkin from this forum. Personally, I think the pumpkin works better. Mine get almost a daily dose now. I fill their kongs with pumpkin or yougurt mixed with peanut butter for when I need to crate them. They love it! |
