Lavenders_Blue Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Tango has had an upset tum on and off for a few weeks. I'm going to pop her along to the vet as I suspect that she has probably picked up something that will need some treatment (she normally has a cast iron gut so this very unusual for her) but in the meantime to try and soothe things I have ordered some tree barks powder. The dosage states one tsp per 10kg body weight added to the daily feed. Tango is 11.5kg, so that's two tsp. I take it I split that across her meals, it's not per meal is it? ETA - Sorry, posted in the wrong forum Can one of the mods move it across please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 wondered what you were posting this in here for! Marvellous stuff; like you I rarely need to use it, but always have some in reserve. I don't measure it out, but just sprinkle a wee bit on and give hard boiled eggs as well. Can't remember when I last used it, but Ruby once scavenged some rubbish in the park and was pretty poorly - ended up at the V. E. T Hope the orange one gets sorted soon.

Lavenders_Blue Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm taking her in to the vet tomorrow. I'm reeeeeeeally hoping that it's just a touch of colitis from scavenging, but I just have this feeling she's picked up something. She has an upset tummy for a few days, then everything clears up, then she gets the runs again and so on. I put her on Pro Kolin a couple of weeks ago which sorted everything out a treat, but now we're back to an upset tum She's on a totally bland diet at the moment. So just 'a sprinkle' of Tree Barks should do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I had Rubes on Protexin when she had that nasty bout - I took a poo sample in when we went and it turned out that she had picked up some nasty bacteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Sounds like that's what little miss greedy guts has done Will be taking sample in tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I always walk them on a lead in there now - there's a profusion of abandoned kebabs/pizzas etc, plus some dimwit who leaves whole loaves of sliced white bread 'for the birds' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ah yes, we have one of those too. I can't imagine what animal eats massive chunks of stale bread apart from dogs and rats. Certainly the birds would struggle to eat it, let alone get airborne afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I used to let her walk off lead, but muzzled to stop the guzzling; I am used to her wearing her racing muzzle, but I got so many people asking if she would bite...'no, only when I tell her to' that it wasn't worth it in the end, and they benefit from a bit of on-lead walking anyway.
