Question by Felicia Q: What’s the best “handy tip” your veterinarian has ever shared with you?
Years ago one of my older dogs broke with a serious (explosive) bloody diarrhea. My vet worried she had eaten a leaf or two off of one of my exotic house plants.

In addition to other emergency treatment my vet suggested putting Psyllium (a natural husk that’s been ground to powder) into her “bland gut diet” and that stuff is beyond GREAT in my book! It works on both diarrhea AND constipation. It has been in my dog medicine cabinet ever since and I am amazed how effective it is when used properly. I get a generic brand – lg. container of it at Walmart for under $ 5.00 and it lasts for ever.

Recommended dosages are : Big dogs – 2 tsp twice a day. Medium dogs – 1 tsp twice a day. Little dogs – 1/2 tsp twice a day MIXED in their food/gruel or a broth. Water is the key to making it effective so make sure your dog is well hydrated when you give it I give the dog in need water revved up with a little sodium / low fat chicken broth just to make sure.

JUST TO BE SAFE when using it – I dose LOW . I give large dogs the medium dose to start (when dealing with constipation). I give them the full dose with dealing with diarrhea. It will make their feces gelatinous looking.

What IS the best “handy tip” your vet has shared that’s not a commercially marketed medication / flea treatment recommendation? I’m not talking about drugs… I’m talking about tips.
Uhave2bekidding..
My vet did not GIVE my dog psyllium. He recommended I try it. It worked well for me…and yes…it is for constipation AND diarrhea. I also found that hard to believe, but since I’ve been using it for about 10 years now I have seen it in action. Works well
Also –
The question is NOT intended to pit one vets opinion against another. It’s a simple question designed to share information with each other. 5 vets may have 5 different opinions.
.
About Psyllium:
Psyllium husk comes from the crushed seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, an herb native to parts of Asia, Mediterranean regions of Europe, and North Africa. In addition to its traditional use for constipation, psyllium has also been used topically by herbalists to treat skin irritations, including poison ivy reactions and insect bites and stings. It has also been used in Chinese and Indian traditional herbal systems to treat bladder problems, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, and high blood pressure.

For the record. I appreciate all responses. No TD’s from me.

Great responses everyone…THANKS!

Basil-
I hear you on the disclaimer comment. I find myself doing that with half my responses these days…lol.

Bells…
IMO- a lot of people don’t have an established relationship with a veterinarian which seems 100% crazy if they have pets (or they are classic vet-hoppers and their vet(s) won’t take a call from them). I’m with you.. I can call my vet and yak about any thing.

Dang…
That one post disappeared? I was hoping to read WHAT the psyllium dose was for a horse. That would have been a pearl too!

Question by MarleyRae: 6 small meals a day . . .?
I’m on a diet, and every time I ask “What are some really great diet tips?” they always answer back with “6 small meals a day, instead of 3 big ones.” Is this true? If so, what food (and snacks?) should I eat in these 6 small meals? How much more weight could I lose if I switch to this diet? For people who have tried this, does it really help?

Best answer:

Answer by Lynn M
Yes eating 6 small meals is better for you than 3 large ones. Your stomach will shirk but your body will know that food is always coming so you will not go into starvation mode. Some foods to eat ever few hours are: string cheese, 1 egg, 4 ounces chicken, hand full of walnuts. Have a small salad with grilled chicken or even grilled steak on it and dressing on the side. You can even have sweets like low carb ice cream or sugar free chocolates. Just break up your meals over the day. I’ve lost weight this way and you can too.
