I'm not a vet, but <strong>I have some suggestions about your dog's diarrhea</strong>. 1) Have you stopped all the various treats and vitamins and meds for flea/heartworm/etc? Sometimes a little known side effect is the problem. 2) Ask your vet about a product that heals intestines IgG 200 DF by Xymogen.com. 3) Have your vet consult Dr. Stan Marks of UC Davis. He's an internationally known diarrhea expert. http://faculty.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/Faculty/slmarks/ You can Goggle his name and find some of his articles. 4) Get a consult from Dr. W.C. Kruesi at www.crvetcenter.com. He's brilliant. He's the vet my vet consults when she's stumped. You can send him all your tests and work with him yourself, or have your vet do it. He's the vet I trust with my dog Jiggy. He consults by phone from Vermont. (I'm in California.) 5) Find another vet in your area. It's not disloyal. Different vets know different things. There's a referral list at www.dogs4dogs.com/vet A vet who knows homeopathy may have a different take on the problem. I hope this helps. Diarrhea needs to be cured as soon as possible. Are you giving your dog IV fluids? That can help, too. Hi Joanne.
