I.m beginning to wonder
If Boyfie has a digestive problem re pooing in the bath. His bath poos are
kind of like cow pats with some form in them. But not good firm poos. He has always been clean in the house until recently. I am guessing that cowpat poos mean he cannot hold himself. I never tell him off about it, if you need to go, you need to go. Do I need to worry, should I take him to the vet? He is very well otherwise. Do I need to change his food? His poos are not properly formed. Far too soft. |

If I were mine, I think I'd take him to the vet, along with a sample of the poo for analysis. |

My Chloe is like that. She has hyperthyroid, but that's controlled. The poo problem is something else as well. Empirically, giving her a whacking great dose of biotin (about a quarter of a 1000mcg capsule once a week) keeps her poo reasonably solid. A lot of catfood seems to be biotin-deficient or outright biotin-destroying, thanks to its egg content. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

At least he's still eating, so there may be some sort of easily fixable treatment if he has some issues. Jill |

A lot of catfood seems to be biotin-deficient or outright biotin-destroying, thanks to its egg content. There was a question about his thyroid a few months ago, but he seems be fine. Where do I get biotin? Will that work for poodles too? It's my life's work to get Lennie a firm poo. Because I have to clear it up.. His mum spent 300 pounds for allergy tests, to help his itching and diarrhoea. He is very allergic to dust mites. His food allergies are oats, potatoes and rice plus wheat, which makes it very difficult to find something. But I did. Spent hours examing every ingredient in the posh pet shop. Lily's Kitchen duck & chicken. We'll see how it goes. It's quite expensive. 7.49/kg Rita says nothing is too expensive for Lennie :-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

It's always good to get advice. I hadn't thought about his previous injury having an effect. Judith It could also be because he is getting more dry food after the vet told me to give him more to increase his weight. It might not suit him. He is up to weight now so I can reduce it back to the 2 tbsps he had before for a night-time treat. See how that works. He gets 100g wet x 2 daily. If he doesn't improve, I might try him on raw food. I gave him raw mince today, he loved it and scarfed it down. It's horribly expensive but hey, he's worth it. I'd heard that raw food sorts out soft poos in cats. I'll let you know. I do know that when both KFC & himself were eating collared doves, their poos were perfect ;-) |
