hi how to help a dog with a bad belly

<< < (2/2)

Guardian Angel's White lightning:
canned pumpkin worked wonders when Titan had diarreah.  Pumpkin is great, it helps them solidify and helps get rid of constipation too..it is the wonder drug of our house! nOT PUMPKIN PIE MIX....just plain pumpkin with some oatmeal, bannanas, and boiled potatos (never green ones theough)  The vet gave titan flagyl (metronitozole) and that did nothing for him....try the pumpkin it works wondering in only one feeding

peytons mama:
I give him a large spoonful of canned pumpkin.  Just plain pumpkin, no spices.  That usually does the trick.

a side note... we (me and peyton) were cooking some pumpkin pies over thanksgiving and she got a hold of the can that the pumpkin comes in and she fell in love! i noticed that when i opened another can she got all excited and i even started scraping some and eating it myself! so, when i see that pumpkin is on sale next year...i think i might have to get me and peyton a little treat!

CalistogaPyr:
I use powdered slippery elm bark to help with loose poops.  It is sold in health food stores and is reasonsble cheap.  Bo gets the poops all the time and this works better (and faster) than pumpkin when a stronger intervention is necessary.  She has IBD, so it helps to sooth the intestines by creating more mucus (I think).  Also, marshmallow (the plant, not the dessert) also works well for indigestion.  It's also available at the health food store.
