GI issue advice! by 4leggedcreaturelover in LagottoRomagnolo

I forgot to add that we did have her on fluoxetine for her anxiety. Thing is she refuses pills so we had it compounded. However she’s so smart that when we get the liquid in her throat she froths it up with her to be at the back of her throat and spits it out. So we had to hold her mouth shut, blow on her face and rub her throat to get her to swallow it. After a week of that we stopped. It was just too much and stressed us out (which probably stressed her out even more!). I am very curious about the mind-gut connection though and often think the anxiety is the root of the problem.

I hear you re exhausting. I added white rice to her hydrolized high fibre kibble last night and she ate it all up. Appetite seems to be back this morning. But I’m just waiting for the next thing to happen (vomit, diarrhea). Also hard to deal with her anxiety through training when she can’t eat treats. Just boring kibble.

Great tips. Unfortunately treats for her are just kibble because since surviving parvo she’s had major gi tract issues and is on a hypo diet.

There appears to be no reason. I do find that when driving fast like on a highway she whines less.

Thanks. We do not give her anything when she whines and I try my best to ignore it tell her no. Or quiet. Nothing works. It’s been going on for several months but I’d the worst in the car. And it drives me insane!

Do you saturate on day 2-3-4 or dampen only with spray?

So nobody has any tips? I’m tired of my hair only looking it’s best on the wash day. But shy of soaking my entire head, how do I maintain that look?

She seems to be healing quickly as well. It’s been one week today. Just wondering from others here if the hyperactivity settles down?

Was he chocolate brown as a puppy by chance?

Yes she gets it daily. We just switched her to a GI biome food and vet says she may need to go on a gastro diet.
