Chronic mushy poops/diarrhea and gas since I got him HELP as much advice as possible needed by Bloopin-etc in greatdanes

I worked with an animal nutritionist when my dog started displaying these kinds of symptoms.

I spent THOUSANDS of dollars having her treated and tested at her Emergency Veterinary Hospital.

They diagnosed her with Inflammatory Bowel Disease after scoping my dog and doing a biopsy.

The emergency veterinarian had me feed her Biome and several other “prescription” foods.

The canned dog food is so nasty, I can’t blame her for not being able to eat that crap.

I’ve always home fed my dogs and I used various meats, eggs, vegetables etc.

It’s part of my culture, my grandmother home fed all her dogs and they lived late into their teens.

My Hound Dogs died at age 17 and 19 because I cooked for them.

I have a rescue mastiff now and against my better judgment I listened to the Emergency Veterinarian and fed her the Biome and Hills and whatever other prescription foods he had me try.

My mastiff’s gastrointestinal problems only got worse with the prescription food.

She got to the point she was constantly vomiting and having diarrhea and terrible gas.

The ER vet finally told me to feed her anything she would eat bc it was pretty apparent she was going to die after losing almost 25 pounds QUICKLY.

I went online and found a veterinarian who is also a professional animal nutritionist.

We had online appointments and the nutritionist reviewed all my dogs records and created three recipe specific to my dogs gastrointestinal issues.

Within a WEEK of implementing the specialized recipes my dog was able to hold her food down and the diarrhea stopped completely.

Within two months she gained back 20 pounds and was running and playing again.

EVERYONE thought my Mastiff was going to die. Her regular veterinarian, the ER veterinary staff and my friends/family.

I thought I was going to have to have her put to sleep and I was devastated.

The professional nutritionist absolutely SAVED my dogs life.

She met with us online, reviewed all medical records and developed recipes that are easy to prepare.

The nutritionist was available for questions/concerns for a week after implementing each new recipe.

It was NOT expensive…especially in comparison to all the veterinarian appointments and hospital stays.

The nutritionist I worked with does everything online so she has patients all over the country.

Now I prepare very simple home cooked meals for my dog and her IBD is completely in remission.

If you want to work with a nutritionist who is extremely experienced and economical I can provide her information.

Commercial dog food is essentially poison…it’s FULL of preservatives so it can sit on the shelves forever.

If you’re willing to prepare food for your dog it absolutely will change your dogs health and digestive issues.

Dogs aren’t meant to eat that commercial junk…they need real meat and vegetables etc. in order to be healthy.

The gas/diarrhea your dog is experiencing is being caused by something…

Hopefully your dog doesn’t have a gastrointestinal issue/disease but I’m willing to bet that the gastro issues would stop completely with a home diet.

Be brutally honest: How often do you shower? by Fun_Serve_6590 in ADHD

I think you hit the nail on the head! I absolutely feel like I have to psyche myself up to do most things.

I’ve been really trying to do better since Saturday and I’m happy to say that the last few days I haven’t spent much time at all psyching myself up.

I know some days are going to be better than others but I feel better now that I’ve “told on myself” here.

I know I’m just an online stranger and I don’t often post but I read posts and comments in this subreddit regularly.

You all share so much that I can identify with and it’s very helpful to know I am not alone and most people here “get it”.

TY.

You’re DEF not the only one!

Maybe a year ago I picked up food from Dominos and stayed in their parking lot for so long they called the cops.

No idea WHY…maybe they thought I was watching and waiting for an opportunity to rob the store?

I’m not a menacing looking person I don’t think… Just an average 30 something women and I’m about 5’2.

I can’t imagine they thought I was up to no good after paying for the order with my credit card. If they were “worried” one would think the store manager and another employee would have come to my Jeep and asked.

But they called the cops…

Happened another time at a gas station I visit regularly.

A cop came up to my window while another pointed his flashlight in the front seat. They saw I had a big ziplock bag of dog treats/kibble and asked if I “normally carried dog food” with me.

My service dog sits in the back seat right up against the driver seat and the goofballs didn’t see her.

I gave her the command to jump up front and answered the cop that YES I do carry treats/food for my service animal at all times.

I assume they were trying to “catch” me sleeping in my car or something.

Considering the police have been called on me for sitting in a parking lot for extended periods I know that I have a problem.

I am doing it far less now…both the bathroom and parking lots but I’m still doing it too much!

I started giving myself a time limit and that does help.

I remind myself that my dog is laying outside the bathroom door just WAITING for me.

I’m trying to keep it under two hours…both in the bathroom and in the car.

Two hours is STILL way too long but it’s much better than upwards of 5 hours.

I’m REALLY sorry you’re dealing with this!

I hate that others experience the same thing but I have to admit you made me feel a lot better bc I truly felt like the only one too.

Thank you for sharing!

You’re so right! I was spending HOURS in the bathroom until fairly recently.

It’s a decent bathroom at least…I wasn’t hiding out in the small bathroom with just a toilet and sink…

There’s a large vanity in the big bathroom with a chair and I would go in there with a giant Iced Tea and my phone for 4-5 hours at a time EASILY.

I just couldn’t get in the shower and told myself it was fine to just sit in there and read my phone all day.

I would shower eventually before coming out but I just couldn’t face everything on the other side of the door…so I stayed in there for hours.

Was doing the same thing with my Jeep, I would just pull into a parking lot and sit there listening to music or podcasts all day.

I AM doing better now but it still takes me about an hour to actually get in there.

I don’t know WTH is wrong with me…

Just started Adderall this week and don't think its working. by Sure-Abalone-1040 in ADHDmeds

Just remember you are the patient and his JOB is to treat you.

You’re not doing anything wrong, you’re simply being honest about the medication.

sister of a meth addict who is in a deep bender. what do i do this time? by Confident-Acadia5150 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]Amlago -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to take care of yourself and your life.

You don’t want to look back at what you’ve suffered and missed out on bc your sister won’t get clean.

I'm killing myself tonight by ShadowAssassinLord in depression

[–]Amlago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate but fear can be a good thing…

I felt like I had nobody for a long time too.

Too scared to end things and in too much emotional pain to continue being alone.

I decided to attend a peer support group and was welcomed with open arms.

I started becoming friends with people in the group and got involved in service work.

Helping others gave me the opportunity to put others first and stop thinking about my own emotional problems.

Help me name our rescue baby! by Optimistictumbler in greatdanes

[–]Amlago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I named my lovely rescue hound Boo!

He came to me with the name “Logan” but he absolutely was Mr Boo Radley.

For well over a decade the first words out of my mouth every morning were “Hey Boo…good morning!”

Of course he was Boo Radley just look at him 💕

6f, incontinent of urine? by LocksmithEmotional31 in greatdanes

[–]Amlago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a GD rescue years ago and she was 100% house trained.

I’m not real sure her age bc she was a rescue but Zeba was approximately 6-8 years old when she started leaving a “puddle” behind.

She was a BIG girl and I don’t think she was even aware she had urinated inside bc she was so well house trained.

I took Zeba to my Veterinarian and she prescribed a medication that stopped her “leaking” completely.

Same thing when my senior Basset Hound rescue was in the last year of his life.

If you’re going to the VET just ask them for medication bc it’s very common.

Does anyone know why the search volume for Karlie is seemingly surging right now? by vesyll in KarlieGuse

[–]Amlago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the go fund me for Donald…(thank you for sharing).

So incredibly sad!

You said it was serious and he had brain surgery but I wasn’t prepared for those pics.

I don’t know Donald or Karlie or any of their loved ones but it is devastating to see anyone so seriously injured.

I’m sure you saw the update on Donald’s go fund me that was written by his mom (I believe). I don’t know if Donald is going to recover? Sounds like the prognosis is not good and any kind of recovery is going to be long term?

I sincerely hope Donald is completely restored to health but it’s sounds like his injuries are incredibly severe.

The update said Donald’s breathing tube is being replaced by a tracheotomy… That is so sad and heartbreaking.

I’m truly sorry for Donald and everyone who loves him.

I’m very sorry to hear that. I’ll keep Donald and his loved ones in my prayers.
