XTRAWLD Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Slippery Elm has helped us out of a lot of issues. I hope it provides relief for Charlie. Glad to hear it isn't anything serious.

XTRAWLD Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) XTRAWLD-Do you use powdered form and how much? I believe i can get it @ Whole Foods Market Powdered form. I use 3 "scoops" (I'd say 2 tablespoons I guess) mixed with warm water as a type of slurry. It'll set that up in the bottom of the bowl, and then add food. Kasey refuses to eat it on it's own. I have found it in very few places, mostly health food stores though would carry it. The only notable thing is that if you are giving medication, it might "slow" the medicine. Slippery Elm coats (well I guess with consistent and long term use) the stomach lining. As you could expect, it would take a while for meds to be absorbed because of this protection. I do think though if it's a casual thing, it isn't a big deal. Hope that helps!

Guest mindy10 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 My dog make a quick hack noise like the dog in this video. Is that what it sounds like. Could be a number of things but my dog also spits up yellow bile so the vet said Acid reflux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
