Introducing Black GSD Dave (Barking heads food)

Hi,

I'm A really intelligent 8 1/2 year Old black GSD, affectionately known as Dave.

My owner has signed up to Dogsy hoping to benefit from Your knowledge and experience of Colitis.

I first started suffering in December when it was so bad that
My bladder and bowel became infected and I was really poorly.

We thought we had it under control but it is now reoccurring monthly

We are now going to try a salmon and potato based food by Barking heads- recommended.

Anyone tried this for Colitis??

Hi Dave, welcome.

I haven't tried the foods you mention but you might get your owner to give you Tree Barks Powder by Dorwest or slippery elm capsules which might help your colitis.

Hello Dave [woof] - I am sorry that I cannot help you but hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will be along shortly.

In the meantime

Have you used Pro-kolin to put the good bacteria back into your dogs tum?

I have tried pro biotics and a number of diets.

Next step - fish & potato based diet, and I will try the tree bark.

I really don't want to subject him to daily meds as sure it must have an effect somewhere down the line.

Things seem to work for a short period, then the blood comes back

The vet gives him jabs & tabs which again works in the short term but not for more than a few weeks. He's happy in himself but he must be in discomfort.

Does anyone fine dry vs wet food makes a difference?
