slime in poo

[meggit]

when i cleaned up the garden after buddy today i noticed there was a lot of white/clearish slime in the poo and yesterday it was very loose not really runny is this anything to worry about , buddy is 4 nearly 5 months old and is fed a raw food diet (oh the joys of being a doggie mum talking about slime and gunge )

Oh yes, we have such delightful subject matter

Nothing to worry about if it happens once in a long while. Like us, they don't produce perfection every time.

ok today buddy has a really bad runny tummy, he seems fine in himself running round causeing havoc as usual so what the best thing to feed him to help him get over it OH says boiled rice is good but is that ok seeing as hes normally on a raw food diet

First off, let the tummy run - it is getting rid of whatever has upset it - yes folks diarrhoea in moderation is healing

For an adult dog, don't feed anything for 24 hours.

For a pup, offer some plain bio yoghurt and either apple pear or pumpkin stirred in, raw or cooked, doesn't matter.

If the squits carry on past 2 days, or there is blood in it, or the puppy looks flat and lethargic, go and see the vet.

Good old home-made Ma's chickensoup (said as all in one word ) made from a real chicken is always very settling.
