[Dailydrool] Ms. Beasley's loud rumblings

[Esther Strom]

Ruthie,

Some hounds just have sensitive stomachs. Waldo could have chicken if it was boiled, but if it had been roasted or cooked any other way with skin on (even if he didn't get any of the skin), he ended up the same way Beasley did.

Gas-X is never a bad idea; I used to give it as a preventative with every meal after surviving several bloat episodes. For diarrhea, though, it won't do much. I'd try Pepto Bismol instead. (The liquid is faster-working than the tablets or pills.) Also, plain boiled chicken and rice is many vets' treatment of choice for diarrhea.

Hope she feels better soon.

Ms. Beasley could use a little drool.  She had diarrhea all over my living room yesterday while I was at a doc appt.  The night before we had chicken for dinner and I give her some of it, NO skin, NO bones either.  I just mixed it with her kibble, which she gobbled up quickly.  She was fine the rest of the day, yesterday, eating and drinking and going out for potty time.  She pooped and peed fine, this sounds gross, but her stools looked solid.  Anyways, she woke me up several times during the night, actually her stomach woke me, it sounds like there are several c at ts in there fighting!  I gave her breakfast today and she turned her nose up at it.  She's not acting lethargic and is currently barking at the UPS man who is making a delivery across the street.  I am going to the store soon to buy some Gas-x to give her, is this a good idea?  I am leaving on my trip on Saturday and can't bear to think of Beasley being sick.  Please any thoughts would be
 appreciated.  Please email me privately. 
 
Thanks,
