This went on for a few days. The owner quit feeding the dog. The dog started growling at me cause it was hungry. I explained to the owner that the dog\'s instincts, which it uses to survive, was telling it that it was desperate for food, enough to growl, and it needed to be fed. I showed the website Earthclinic, and the remedy it suggests, pumpkin & boiled chicken. I fed the dog this mixture and the dog, for the first time, slept all night. Problem solved. The dog was fed 2 TBS and a cup of chicken the 1st night. Didn\'t want to overfeed it. Now the dog is bigger than ever. \"Medicines may have scientific proof to back them up, but big Pharma also has a big motive to do misleading research, money. All DRUGS are poisonous. That\'s why they say \"May cause liver or kidney damage. \" as side-effects. Or, \"Not for people w/ liver or kidney disease. \" or \"nephro (kidney)toxicity\" or \"hepa (liver) toxicity). The liver & kidney filter out poisons. That\'s their job. Herbs cannot be patented, so no one can make money off them, so no one invests millions into proper scientific research. Medicine takes 1 component of an herb and makes it un-natural, so they can patent it, and charge a lot for it. But the herb was designed for the human body. We co-evolved together. Herbs almost never have side-effects, and healing herbs that are good for you always taste & smell pleasant. To test if a medicine or herb is healthy, chew it & taste it. Taste revolting? Your body knows. You cannot trust the doctors. Trust your own eyes. A vet would have charged a lot of money for some medication to stop up the dog\'s guts, and it probably wouldn\'t have worked as well as the proper food (herb).

He\'s very vital at 4 years and overall looks very healthy, however, from day one he\'s had diarrhea although I feed him quality canned food and dry food for sterile cats. I suspect he had already had diarrhea in the cat-shelter because his bum was not clean then when I visited the shelter a few weeks back. He\'s fully vaccinated and I don\'t expect him to have intestinal parasites because he would get tablets for that while in the shelter.

I don\'t know if she will just have chronic diarrhea for the rest of her life, or if she is having problems with something around her. My dog has always been pretty mellow (she is almost 8 now) but loves to run around outside. From the vet\'s recommendation, I have been feeding her low residue prescription dry food ($$$) with some boiled chicken on top. I mix in a boiled egg from time to time. I have also been giving her some dog vitamins for the lack of nutrients when she eats the low residue food. She is allergic to glucosamine and has a very sensitive stomach. I do not feed her any people food except the chicken and egg. I have taken her to the vet. He has ran blood tests and taken stool samples and I get the same answer each time. Just give her Flagyl. This helped for a little while and then when she was done with the prescription her stool would be fine. She has been on the low residue food for a long time and I wonder if that may be one of the problems. Up until last week, everything was fine. She\'d eat twice a day and finish everything. Now she won\'t touch the dry food, she will not even GLANCE at the chicken even when I wave it right under her nose. She is avoiding the white rice. Right now, all I can get her to eat is some boiled egg and turkey. What can I do? The only options I can think of is to take her to a different vet or feed her turkey forever. I would like to try more of the options I\'ve found on earthclinic but I would like to know if there is a more severe problem that I should address.

We initially returned to the vet for a remedy/diagnosis (as the diarrhea had blood in it and was mucus-sy) and the vet gave us some harsh chemically smelling concoction. My cat refused the concoction for his diarrhea and was very stressed when my husband and I tried to administer it. After a day or 2 it occurred to me to try some bentonite clay. I mixed up a solution (a flat tablespoon in a jar of water, leave to absorb, without mixing for at least 20 minutes, then mix)) and offered the cat some of the thicker part of the mix. He licked it all up without hesitation, I offered him more and he took the second dose. This was in the evening. The next day he did a nice healthy poo and was back to his normal self. Please look into bentonite, green clay and edible clays generally.

The home we moved to has two 4 year old cats (brother and sister). All are indoor only. My cat has been solo for his entire life and is not plesent to even other humans. At our new home he has his own room with all that he needs to be comfortable. He was so stressed out for the first few days he hid in the closet and would not even respond to me. He has since come out of the closet but remains very stressed. I purchased a pheremone collar that was supposed to calm him down, especially when the other cats came to the door. I didn't mention that I put a mesh screen door in place of the bedroom door so the cats could see each other but still be seperated for the transition time. Just over a week later ( to date ) My cat now has full blown diarrhea and is not able to keep any of his food down. He has moments of affection with me and stays calm most of the time but I am getting concerned about the diarrhea and vomiting at this point. I removed the collar 2 days ago in case he was having an allergic reaction. I need suggestions on whether this is collar or stress related and if there is any natural remedy I can use to help him stay calm and be more comfortable. He has never had a single health problem before this move. Help!!!

Pumpkin is HIGH in fiber and water. It works well for constipation BUT NOT DIARRHEA! Would you take metamucil for your diarrhea? the easiest and safest way to stop diarrhea is to stop feeding for 12-24 hours, then start slowly feeding small meals (break up a regular meal into 2-3 feedings afew hours apart) or start with small amounts of pain rice with or without plain boiled chicken then transfer back on to regular food over a few days.

I have stayed consistent with this for the week, before I started adding the garlic, I added Cayenne to the rice twice in the same method(in the rice water while cooking, and that did nothing), so I switched to the garlic. My question is, after a week of this, and no significant improvement, I obviously need to do something different, but what?
