the discussion just led from cottage cheese to Pepper poop...lol. Seriously though, I was talking about how every so often, my Pepper gets a bloody slimy foul smelling stool, which I use cottage cheese to help cure. Someone else mentioned that it sounds like IBS....I was asking if dogs could get IBS or something similar.....someone else already replied that they do. Marsha

Pepper has suffered this since he was a pup...he will be 10 this year. I probably should have it checked again since I am sure the knowledge has increased over the years, but at the time, when it was so bad, they didn't know what it could be. They ran all kinds of test ect. In the beginning, we all feared it was parvo, but obviously it wasn't. It is also very foul smelling and becomes worse if he eats any wet/can food, ect. He only has problems about once every couple of months and we have been able to keep the times down since I have bettered learned what sets it off, ect and can take precautions. Before I knew some of the causes, it would happen a couple times a month.

A couple of days on bland/low fiber and I am as good as new.

Vets have never been able to find out what is wrong with him, but sometimes he gets a real bloody slimy stool and the cottage cheese helps cure this. I normally give him like a tablespoon or two twice a day for 3 days for that. Marsha ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo!
