Smart Feeder - Light sensor values

I have just read a post about stale grain being dangerous to dogs, my lab seems to have an upset tummy at the moment-she seems ok in herself and no mess in the house at all, even though when she goes it's like water!! After reading the stale grain post I'm a bit worried Could it be that she's eaten some of the chickens food? They have mash and a few pellets would this upset her tummy if she's found a few in the garden. It could only be a small amount that inca(dog) would have eaten as we feed them in the But last nite my husband did throw some pellets around as the chickens loved scratching for them, I really hope I'm worrying without need?

I expect it is something she has eaten, although whether or not it's the pellets I don't know. Certainly Tango has eaten chicken food in the past with no ill effects but that doesn't mean it's not what has upset your dog.

 

When Tango has had liquid poo explosions before (sorry! ), I tend to starve her for her next meal and then feed something very plain for 24 hours or so after that (boiled chicken, no skin/scrambled egg/cooked fish with potato etc). Usually that does the trick.

 

If in doubt, maybe give your vet a call though.

Hi, yep totally agree and will do. Wasn't worried at all till read that post and again thought how much I don't know

Sorry to hear that, pop some probitotics like Avipro in the water and give her some Protexin tablets. I find that Dorwest Herbs' Tree Barks Powder is a good one to have in stock; mine rarely get dodgy tums but that works a treat.

Charcoal is good for dodgy lab tums too....hope Inca feels better soon

[karencopas]

thankyou very much for those tips i'll keep those in mind haven't heard of them before does the charcoal come in a tablet form? i'll look all those suggestions up on the internet, how did we ever manage without computers?

Can be tablet form but I have a bucket from Fine Fettle Feed....www.finefettlefeed.com.....called Happy Tummy, is suitable for dogs and chooks so well used in my household

This is slightly connected so not strictly off thread, but thoroughly disgusting, so look away if you're of a delicate disposition!

 

I spotted some poo on the lawn at lunchtime and was surprised that I'd missed clearing it up. On closer inspection is was a very runny cat poo as I raced to get a poo bag and usher the dogs back indoors, Ruby started to eat it, then Cyrus rolled in the remains. To say I was unhappy is an understatement, I think the whole neighbourhood heard my fishwifely bellows. I was late back to work too after sorting out the fall-out.

Dogs are such delightful creatures aren't they!
