Upset tummy
Permalink Closed

Eddie has had an upset tummy for a few days, so he's off to the vets as we speak to make sure it's nothing too serious!!!

Chas was doing some research on herbal remedies to help when dogs have an upset tummy and found this on http://www.globalherbs.co.uk/products_pets.htm -


At Times of Looseness - Diareeze

Dogs love to eat the most unusual items on their walks.  So often this results  in  trouble.   Diareeze  is  a  very  effective  solution  to  Canine problems and is composed of over 10 different tropical herbs.  It is a cheap and cheerful solution to your dogs discomfort.  Always keep some  on  hand  and  remember  to  withhold  food  for  24  hours  and reintroduce slowly.  For more serious issues consider using our Cleanser as well.  For situations requiring medication always consult your local vet. Our human form of this product is very  useful on holiday.

Has anyone used this product, or know anything about it?! I'm just wondering if it's worth buying some and keeping it in the cupboard ... just in case!!

Sharon



PS Chas is not long back from the vets with Eddie - he has a severe stomach infection and will be on antibiotics for at least a week!  Poor boy!  He's to go back on Thursday to make sure it's all clearing up!! He looks so sorry for himself, but it didn't stop him wolfing his rice down at dinner time!!!!

thanks Siouxsie! He was soooo stressed out by the time Chas got him back from the vets last night! chas said that he didn't bother with the vet himself, but the other dogs (and other animals!) in close proximity were a real bother to him!

By the time we went to bed, Eddie was screaming and seemed unable to walk properly - you can imagine how much I panicked!!! when Chas thought about it, though, as Eddie jumped into the boot of the car, it would seem that he banged his elbow!! He seems as good as new this morning though!!!

I've been at a training course today, so the dogs have been locked in for longer than normal, and the kitchen was clean when I got in! I'm such a proud mummy!!!!!!!!

What a clever boy.  Having such a poorly tum and not having an accident whilst you were out.

Hope he gets better soon

Poor Eddie but what a good boy he is!!!!

Tom had an upset tum when he came to us and I put it down to the stress of his new environment. Dave and Daisy also had poorly tums for ages and all three of them recovered well. I put this down to the tablespoon of natural yoghurt they get in their dinner every day. It seems to have worked wonders on the tums and bums.

Sorry to hear about Eddie's tummy problems, hopefully the antibiotics will sort himout soon, but sounds like he is doing well in the house already. God for him

Hi there

Hope the antibiotics are working well. Speedy gets the runs fairly often as he scavanges whilst off lead in the park. The vet suggested I gave him Imodium as she said that it's ok for dogs. I buy the Sainsburys version which is much cheaper. The vet says that the maximum dose for a dog Speedys size (27kg) is 2.5 twice a day but I rarely give him more than 1 twice a day.. I don't use iftoften but now and then when he has finished someone elses takeaway it's really good.

If anyone tells me it will do him harm I will stop using it immediately but as the vet said it was ok I use it about once a month or so..

Just a thought..

Thank you Claire for that bit of advice

Just like to add that even though Claire was advised by Speedy's vet about what to give Speedy, it is always best to check with your own vet for your individual dog on what's right for them.


As many of us have learnt over the years is what might suit one hound may not suit another.
