Great timing! Spent an hour cleaning up after them this morning and we're off to my mum's today to stay for two nights! Phoned the vets for advice and they recommended propalin. I've done some research and it looks like that's for urinary incontinence? Gave them just a tiny bit of rice this morning and will be taking them for frequent short walks to encourage bowel movements outside! Any other tips?!
 
My mum had great success feeding pumpkin and/or sweet potato to stop her dogs runny bu! Pumpkin can be bought in a can at the supermarket; sweet potatoes need to be boiled, cooled and mashed. Her dog has a sensitive tum and eats all sorts of things on the beach so unfortunately soft poops are a regular occurrence!
 
Another vote for sweet potato. When my boy is ill I starve him for 24 hours then give small meals of boiled chicken and boiled, mashed potato or sweet potato (he refuses to eat rice).
 
I starve for 24 hours

then give boiled chicken and rice, I boil the chicken in the same water as I cook the rice, the rice generally gets eaten then,

I've used Prokolin (sp) from the vets before,

and sometimes I'll add a bit of natural live yoghurt to the chicken and rice to try to get some good bacteria into them, but I could just be barking doing that lol but it seems to work for me

hope they are both better soon
 
The bet told us never to starve when it's runny poos because all the gut flora die and the cells in the intestines actually take longer to recover but to feed very small meals of plain boiled potato that is then mashed with either plain white fish or boiled chicken
