    Stool Not Right

    It has been 2 weeks now, and Freida is still having unusal stools, when she goes it starts out fine but at the end it turns mushy and mustard colored.  I took a sample to the vet and it checked out fine,

    I have her on probiotics (blue gel) and I have been giving her rice, I don't know if I should just let it go on or what.  She is not losing weight and is not smelly, just her stool is not uniform.

    Other than being a puppy, she has not gotten into anything.

    The color is a bit indicative of irritable bowel -- and it could simply be the stress of being a puppy. If she's in no distress and the vet didn't find it seriously abnormal -- I would wait a few weeks and monitor it. She may be teething (they do straight thru past a year) which may be causing extra stress which would affect the stool. The other thing -- she's not eating grass is she? You can usually find liquid chlorophyll at a health store and literally just a few drops (like 4-5) in their food can some times help tummy troubles.

    Yes, she is eating grass, one of her favorite things to do.  (hard to keep her from eating it).

     aha!! Then I would most definitely either get her some Barley Green or you could do the Slippery Elm Cocktail for her -- it might resolve that. 

    It's my vet's recipe: (sorry -- editing because when I posted it, it included all sorts of garbage in the document)

     

    1 -- half a cup of boiling water.

    2 -- add 1 rounded tsp. of ground slippery elm

    3 -- let cool totally

    4 -- add 1/8 c. + 2 tablespoons of aloe juice

    5 -- add 10 drops of chlorophyll

    6 -- Add 2-3 capsules (open the caps) of acidolpholus

     

    Once you get it mixed up and whipped smooth, it keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days (after that the acidopholous dies). 

    Use a baby medicine syringe and load it FULL.  Give about half an hour before a meal.  Just put the tip of the syringe behind the canine tooth and hold the mouth loosely closed.  Squirt slowly so they can work their tongue to swallow.

     Not bad tasting -- if there is any soreness in the stomach or intestinal tract it will heal it.
