Re: Charlie is poorly - Part 2 Charlie is better, thank goodness after 4 x 5ml of Pro Kolin which did the trick BUT now he hasn't been for a poo for 2 days, any ideas? He also only went for 1 wee yesterday and seems reluctant to go outside. Not sure what is going on, he is very happy in himself and has been for walks. Thank you x
Re: Charlie is poorly My Charlie definitely had a poo free period after his tummy upset - not for long, about a day. He did a bit of a hard poo the day after, then was a bit runny again, then back to normal. Maybe less food, plus the pro kolin, just binds things up a bit?
Re: Charlie is poorly helen jasper did exactly the same, he didn't poo for 3 days, took him back to the vets, paid vet fee AGAIN , when we got back from the vets he went, he as been fine since
Re: Charlie is poorly Dont worry Helen, the procolin is like kaolin , it does make them a bit constipated but he will be fine I`m sure xx
Re: Charlie is poorly On the constipation topic - I thought Lills was a bit bunged up - going at least once a day, but a bit hard for my liking. I blamed it on the large bone she had last weekend. I chopped up a carrot and added it to her bowl of food. It was amazing how much is slowed down the "food inhalation process" as she was concentrating on crunching on the carrots. : I think it aided the stool issue a bit but I don't think it was magic. I'm pretty sure it will right itself too x
Re: Charlie is poorly Funny you mentioning carrots Jac , I wondered if they help to boost the immune system in dogs ? Sam has had canine acne since he was about 4 month old , only slightly and it cant easily be seen as its under his chin . I noticed that when he was having carrots added to his food , it would disppear , and when he wasnt having carrots, it came back , maybe coincidence but odd
Re: Charlie is poorly Hmm...that makes sense Kate. I think the whole don't eat chocolate and wash your face more regularly business for acne is a bit of an old wives tale (and untrue - phew!) But I always recommend a generally healthy diet, plenty of vitamins from fruit and veg - rich in anti-oxidants. And there is good evidence that diet DOES influence the severity of acne. Carrots are very rich in Vitamin A and we use this to treat acne in a topical form (e.g. Retin A cream, Differin cream)... http://theacnezone.com/vitamin-a-for-acne/ But the Vitamin C is also beneficial... http://www.progressivehealth.com/vitamin-c-acne.htm Carrots/Vitamin A therefore is excellent not only for acne and wrinkles but also good for the anal glands ;D ;D
Re: Charlie is poorly Well well well , its not a coincidence after all , carrots it will be then , couple of times a day , thanks Jacqui xx
Re: Charlie is poorly And if they are good for wrinkles , maybe I should eat a few every day too Sam doesnt mind Jacqui , he loves them x
