MerlinsMum Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 So very glad to hear that Bumper is doing so well Thanks for the advice, I will bring this up with my vet too. Merlin please eat or I will tell Miss Kerry to give it to Sagan. So there, now starts the countdown Caroline, what are you doing to my wizard? Whatever it is, please continue HE ATE MOST OF HIS DINNER LAST NIGHT! :yay And this morning he didn't refuse... wait for it... his canned I/D! (I had to mix in a little Purina EN at first) And at lunchtime today... he even ate some I/D kibble!! This was me last night ---> Unfortunately, he still has bad diarrhea, but the color seems a bit more normal. And he slept through the night with no tummy gurgles at all. So I will keep him on Metro and gather all my information and discuss new options, hopefully this week. In the meantime, I will keep him on Sucralfate as well, until his stools firm up. Quote Kerry with Lupin in beautiful coastal Maine. Missing Pippin, my best friend and sweet little heart-healer 2013-2023 Also missing the best wizard in the world, Merlin, and my sweet 80lb limpet, Sagan, every single day.

cmc333 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have no idea about IBD hounds, but Gertie has terrible diarrhea unless I give her a teaspoon of Manukah honey once a day. I tried it out of desperation because nothing else seemed to work and it is managing quite well. Not that it is always perfect, but formed enough I can scoop it up. I tried decreasing the amount of honey and tried once to take her off it, but the liquid poo started coming back. I am now set up on Amazon that I automatically get a jar of honey every month. I've ordered different brands and haven't noticed any problem in switching brands. Like I said, I know nothing about IBD, but since you are desperate, ask your vet about the Manukah honey. Of course, it's possible that IBD dogs can't stand the honey?? Good luck and fingers crossed for no gurgles and firm poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher gets about a tsp of Manuka honey whenever his IBD starts to act up, it is amazing how helpful it is! Of course, each IBD dog is a little different, so Merlin may not tolerate it. So glad to hear he is eating better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there was a study done showing Manuka honey did more to reduce inflammation than the drugs that are commonly given for this. I'll see if I can find that study.
