He's looking better, but I tried going away for an over-night, and had to kinda change his diet pattern. Uh-oh, soft stool. Just hadn't figured out how to get away for the weekend.
IBS is Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IBD is Inflammatory bowel disease. Sometimes I forget what they stand for! I think the IBD is more the "current style" of saying it, but I could be wrong. I said IBS to one vet, and she corrected me and said IBD. Then the other vet said IBS, so hey, I just don't know!
I do know that the bowel can get irritated in different ways and different areas, and the solutions vary a lot. If it's the small intestine that's irritated, then adding bulk/fiber is not the solution. Food allergies can play a part. Digestion of milk is the 1st thing to go and the last thing to return, according to one source. I tried Lamb and rice (or turkey) because it's blander, I guess, and of course wanted food with no additives. After the treatments, it worked - gave good solid stool.
