Hi
I am creating another thread just to give a more condensed version of my previous thread in hopes of getting some more advice!!
Jimmy is my 12 year old border collie.
He has had chronic diarrhoea for about 2 months now at varying ‘consistencies’ but at the moment it’s very loose/ watery. No blood. He is obviously losing weight now, and his appetite is decreased.
What we have tried:
2 x faecal testings (negative)
Bloods showed low B12 levels, so we are supplementing him with that
Metronidazole was given for about 3 weeks in total (we thought initially it was having an effect in firming up the stools but then returned to diarrhoea)
Initially he was on a RAW diet, we then changed to Growling Tums Senior (hypoallergenic), we tried Chappie for a couple of weeks and now we have just started ROYAL CANIN Anallergenic (I am dubious that it is allergies causing this diarrhoea but thought we must exhaust all options)
Next treatment will be steroids
ANY ADVICE/ EXPERIENCE OF SIMILAR ISSUES VERY GRATEFULLY RECEIVED!!
