ack-ack Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 He's going in to the vet tomorrow but my terrier, for a week or so has been passing jellified stools late in the day. Morning is fine but afternoon / evening on and off they are not right. He doesn't hoover, but he eats well of an evening and I've not changed his diet. Any ideas gents?

WGD Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Colitis I would say, probably an easy fix but you're right to get it checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 It was colitis WGD, there were no theories forthcoming as to why it occurred so frequently. I wonder whether its nerves related as he's become very skittish, he used to be very full of himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 To be honest I do not have a clue but it works for this dog and it did for my last one,this one is now 10 and still very fit, deaf maybe and the other was put to sleep just before his 17th birthday.It was the vet what told me to try it so I am guided by what they say.I feed him on dry chappie he is happy so I am too.

Interesting. My dogs sit in the office all day and can get very excited when certain people come in to visit, especially if they've come from the lambing shed (ewwwwwww!). To be honest he hasn't been right since the mrs left last summer. The Beagle doesn't give a monkeys, she's just happy to have her dad all to her self.

ditchman Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 the only thing i can suggest, and im not qualified to do so, is that in the early days of this problem, the vet prescribed steroids and when it occured the dog would have a couple and things would go back to normal.............cant help thinking this is purley a mental problem...im no vet but i do know my dogs and what works for them, as ive said before, the dog is slowly growing out of the problem..last time it happened was 4-5 weeks ago..................
