Question :
My dog/cat has diarrhoea - what should I do?
|
|
Answer
: If your pet is otherwise healthy, then you need to "rest" your pet's stomach by feeding bland food such as steamed chicken (without the skin) and rice for a couple of days, avoid fatty or rich foods. Once the diarrhoea settles, then slowly re-introduce your pet's normal diet. The bland food diet is recommended for short periods only as it will be unbalanced for long term use. Most gastrointestinal upsets in dogs and cats is caused by sudden changes in their diets - make any dietary changes over a couple of days to allow your pet's stomach to adapt. If the diarrhoea persists, or is accompanied by blood, vomiting or depression then veterinary advice should be sought. |

Question :
Do I feed my dog raw or cooked bones?
|
|
Answer
: Raw meaty bones are recommended to be fed as cooking bones increases the risk of intestinal upsets and splintering. Ensure bones are large enough so that your dog must chew them rather than swallowing them whole. |
