Our 1.5 year old Basenji, Meeko, has been kennel trained since the day we got him. Recently, we have been coming home to massive poo explosions after an 8 hour day at work. He's done it 3 times in the past month or so and has gotten a clean/negative stool sample result from the vet. We haven't changed his food, nor has he been eating any people food. He isn't getting into things he's not supposed to since he is in his crate. Anyone else having weird bowel issues? Thoughts on what could be causing this?

@zande said in Help - Kiya is having a diarrhea bout for months:

wish we humans could get the same benefit from Vitamin B12

as an aside: Humans need all of the B Vitamins for B12 to work it's magic. B12 alone will not do the trick, I take a "Super B Complex" vitamin every day for exactly this reason!

went to the vet today. he said i caught it early. he didnt hear anything in his lungs, but his glands were enlarged. he gave him a cough supressant and antibiotics. after putting a humidifier in my room, its really helped his nighttime coughing fits. so he has another apt in a couple weeks. just going to give him lots of rest and his meds. he will be good as new. doc said he's in great shape for his age. could use a teeth cleaning tho! haha

@taryn121:

I just switched Ripley from ProPlan to Evo yesterday, and he's had diarrhea last night and all today. I was wondering if that was normal because he had a food switch? And if it is, how long does it normally happen? I put a little plain yogurt in with his meal this morning and it seemed to help some. Is there anything else I can do?

It is usually recommended that you change foods slowly… over the course of at least 2 to 3 weeks... increasing the new food with the old with each feeding.

@agilebasenji:

Sounds like you definately need a specialist of some sort.

Also, you may want to try Slippery Elm instead of Immodium or Pepto.

**The last link is about using it in pets. And it should be available as a powder or in capsule form at your local health food/green grocery.

Thanks for that link. Never heard of it used in pets before, but now I'll be keeping some on hand. Excellent!
