Dodgy tummy advice please

[pistolpete]

My new lurcher is adorable. Recently spayed just starting lead walks so not eaten anything she shouldn’t have.
I’ve been warning her off butchers tripe and onto barking heads as I found it great with my last dog. She’s got an upset tummy now! Just what I was trying to avoid!

How long have you had her?

Starve for 24 hours, feed probiotic like ProKolin according to body weight, go back to Butchers Tripe afterwards if that suits her 😊

Had her for ten days. May well go back to Butchers. Thanks.

Don’t be too disheartened, 10 days isn’t long particularly if she has had a spay to recover from too. I’m not saying you were doing the wrong thing by any means, but maybe give her a couple of weeks to settle in then try again?

I know you can’t generalise, particularly with lurchers which could potentially be all sorts of mixes, but most of the lurchers I’ve had have tended to be more ‘delicate little flowers’ with digestion than ‘tough as old boots’

Now a million and one other posters will say exactly the opposite I’m sure 😂

Introduce your new feed slowly mixed with her butchers. She’s bound to be stressy - new home, post op.

Its not advised to starve these days. Try canikur or pro kolin. Feed small meals up to.4 times a day.

I would keep her on what she is used to for a month or so before changing food.
Just a thought but did she get fed at thw vets after surgery, some of thw do this now.

Funny that, I’ve been starving for 24 hours for the last 30 years and it has always worked and never done any of mine any harm..... 🙄

That may well be true but it's not advised now. Completely up to you what you do but it's not the most up to date method.

Children's kaolin from the pharmacy.

Thanks all. She’s much improved today.
