SincereArtisan Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I was just curious, what is everyone's method of curing his/her dog of an upset stomach? What do you do? What/When do you feed? How does it work? Mine is fine I just thought it would be handy to have an assortment of recipes and what they're used for....

Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 White rice and boiled meat - either hamburger or chicken. Depending on how upset the tummy is and the possible cause, I may offer yogurt also - or a probiotic gel I have. If the tummy is REALLY upset, just plain white rice. You really want to rest the tummy for one meal if the cause is unknown, then introduce a small amount of the rice/meat (or just rice) the first time. The other thing my vet likes to have me do is freeze a few jars of chicken baby food in ice cubes. Itty bitty puppies love these. Even not sick ones.

Carson Crazies Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Like Becca, I fast one meal (my dogs are fed 2x a day). Then I start with a little white rice. Each meal I add a little more rice, and start up with increments of either boiled chicken or hamburger. I also add slippery elm bark powder (1/4 tsp per 10 lbs of dog, mixed with enough cold water to make a thick gruel), and sometimes a pre-biotic, pro-biotic, dig. enzyme supp. Depending on the dog, sometimes I'll add some pumpkin in after a day or so. Once I get a few days of normal stools I start adding their kibble/food back in very slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 At an Agility trial Dazzle had a sick tummy and one of the people there made her white rice with what I think was cottage cheese. Giving her a bit of that cleared her up in another day! I don't know if it was really cottage cheese - but I think so..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
