Just a tip for you all.

I have found out that almost everyone here uses a tablespoon of pure pumpkin from a tin mixed in with a dogs food if they have a dodgy tum.

I didn't believe them so asked my vet and did some research and when Abe came up with the runs the other day i tried it!

I am a convert!
It really works.

It has to be plain not the pie filling kind.

Thats my tip for the day

Thanks for that tip. Wonder if we get pumpkin over here, never seen it but then again never actually looked.

I think I've seen it in Lidl or Aldi (somewhere like that!) I had an American/Finnish flatmate who went mad for the stuff It was about 5 years ago now, but I'd imagine you can still get it there - I'll admit I've not really looked since I stopped living with her!

This made me think, my dogs never get dodgy tummmys (except for sea water) *of course now I say that, they will*
Cool tip though, even though Im of the starve and clear the system out ( I am a mean mummy)

Never mind the dogs, I've had a dicky belly all weekend - too many Stella Artois - will give it a try!

Natural yoghurt works a treat for our GSD if her tummy is talking loudly - like loud enough to hear over the TV!!!
Just a tablespoonful before her dinner and her tummy is silent once again

I also do the 24hr starve thing and then give natural yoghurt once feeding has resumed. I've heard that giving a raw egg in their food helps to bind them up again but I've never tried it myself.

I feed an egg almost everyday as part of his meal anyway.

Kaolin and morphine-amazing stuff. Available at independent chemists with the morphine still in or just kaolin from big chemists. Works on humans too!
