Awww poor Daisy! Does she get to eat tomorrow?

My (human) nutrition book says good stuff about L-glutamine, especially for GI problems.

Cassie, here's the recipe - http://www.drweil.com/app/cda/drw_cda.html-command=Recipe-pt=Recipe-recipeId=10021
It's one of our favorites.

Yes, she gets to eat (today). I started with a little yogurt and slippery elm. She was like is that it :roll:

I'll wait a few hours and give her a neck or two.

i just wrote this responding to someone else:

My puppy had bad diarrhea and we found out it was Giardia - and I was reading about this and all the articles I read say it is kind of difficult to detect and also is thought to be something else. And as well it is very hard to get rid of since the little giardia cysts can hang out for a couple of weeks if you don't sanitize everything or if the dog keeps rolling around in the same park/yard or drinking from the same water (pond or stream - something like that). Your dog probably has been tested for this but maybe not!

Giardia is known for coming back again and again. I found a website that listed some homeopathic remedies..

1) - Oxydrops - kills bacteria/fungus/protozoa/virus but not good bacteria in the gut.

2) - BacPacPlus - Fortified with Yucca - to reestablish the intestinal flora and a healthy mucosal lining of the gut which is uninviting to Giardia.

3) - MSM - Nutritional Sulfur - this makes an environment were Giardia does not like to live and grow, as stated in the Patent research on MSM

maybe this will be helpful - good luck

I also meant to say that Georgia had the same symptoms - mucus and blood in her runny stools (not so fun when she's not house trained )
but she had no other symptoms - just that. (oh and her stomach makes some CRAZY noises!!)

Daisy got these symptoms after eating socks and rawhide. She has IBS and was tested for Giardia. I finally took her to a homopathic vet who told me to feed her a raw diet w/bones and it has really helped a lot!!!! If you have questions about it, feel free to ask. It really has made a difference in Daisy, and I was sooooo against raw before :wink:

[mouseatthebusstop]

don't let her have rawhide chews they have been know to cause blockages and even death :(

Sooo sorry to hear about that I hope that Daisy Feels better real Soon, Give her lots of love( from me) well and you too :D

Thanks, she is feeling much better!!!
