My two cavs (7 months/13# and 14 months/15#) have been battling with bouts of diarrhea which leads to blood in their stool. They've both had this several times recently. My vet has treated them with flagyl, which works great. But shortly after they finish the 10-14 day round of medicine, it comes back again.
We've eliminating the "poop eating" habit by exclusively leashing them when outside. Since that hasn't helped, the vet thinks that raw food may be the culprit and wants to see what happens if I eliminate it from their diet. Here's what they usually eat:

We've eliminating the "poop eating" habit by exclusively leashing them when outside. Since that hasn't helped, the vet thinks that raw food may be the culprit and wants to see what happens if I eliminate it from their diet. Here's what they usually eat:
- In the morning, they get Nature's Variety Raw (2 oz.) mixed with 1 teaspoon of non-fat plain yogurt, seameal, and 1/2 teaspoon of lipiderm.
In the evening, they get 1/3 cup of Nature's Variety kibble.
I rotate the protein source of the raw and kibble with in the Nature's Variety line.
They get a small raw baby carrot about twice a day, as a treat for "kenneling up."
- Doxycycline - 25mg 2x per day
PetoBismo - 3cc 4x per day
Flagyl 250 mg 2x per day
Hill's Prescription Diet canned W/D - give 1 Tbsp with the Doxycycline since that med is hard on the stomach.
