promax syringe for the control of diarrhoea that contains probiotics too and also can be used to prevent diarrhoea at times of stress etc and during use of antibiotics.

A friend of mine always swears by Kaogel for her dogs, personally I prefer the Protexin prokolin but something you could try, you can by kaogel on line. And thanks SDH - he had a reaction to Kaogel a few years ago, and Prokolin has always worked better for us. We've given Bionic Biotics a good try for a few weeks and it made no difference to his gas, and he also didn't like the taste. Canikur® chewable tablets are very tasty and often taken voluntarily by dogs as a treat. Or they can be given whole, broken into pieces or crushed – either on their own or mixed with food.Canikur chewable tablets for dogs contain meat and liver flavouring. They are highly palatable and will be well received by most dogs. Dogs may be fasted while receiving Canikur. However, it is important that the dog has free access to drinking water. Feed should be re-introduced gradually starting with easily digestable foods.

Kaogel always used to work, until he started having a reaction to this, so for the last 3 years we've always sworn by ProKolin. Canikur is a nutritional supplement for cats and dogs which boosts a range of probiotics found in the gut and supports intestinal health. It comes in paste-filled syringes, is orally administered, and can be useful in balancing healthy bacterial levels in the gut with a specially formulated probiotic and prebiotic blend. Canikur comes in 15ml, 30ml, and 60ml containers.Canikur is easy to administer, and simply needs squeezing from its tube onto where it will be eaten from. How to use Canikur

Bless him, He's on Doxion once a day on an empty stomach, 1 hour before breakfast, 75mg Zantac twice a day, half an hour before meals, 2 x 50mg Tramadol twice a day, 15mg Vidalta 3 times a day, Previcox once a day, scoop of pre/probiotic once a day, Keeper's Mix baked into a biscuit with some tinned food to keep the gas to a minimum, and currently he's on 1 and a 1/2 huge pink Synulox tablets twice a day. He doesn't like the Yumpro standard probiotics tablets, and actually refuses food with them crushed into, so I'm not really prepared to try their stool firming version.Further information available from Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health UK Ltd, RG12 8YS, UK.

Other causes of acute diarrhoea in dogs can include bacterial infections, such as salmonella and E-coli, toxin exposure and even stress. Give 1 tablet per 5-8kg bodyweight twice daily for 2 days or as directed by your veterinary surgeon. Diarrhoea in puppies is of particular concern because it is often the first symptom of severe and potentially fatal viral diseases such as the parvovirus, coronavirus or distemper. Parvovirus is most commonly found in unvaccinated puppies. The symptoms are a high fever, lethargy, loss of appetite and liquid diarrhoea. Coronavirus is also a highly contagious virus. Adult dogs may simply show symptoms such as stomach flu and recover within a few days but puppies can develop far more serious infections and complications. The signs of coronavirus are extreme watery diarrhoea. The Canine Distemper Virus is highly contagious causing a high fever, coughing and sneezing followed by vomiting and dark, tar-coloured diarrhoea. Finally the virus causes seizures and can often be fatal. Vaccination is the best way to prevent viral diseases. Although he can tolerate Chappie and it doesn't give him the squits as such, we generally find that Chappie tinned comes out the other end almost exactly the same texture as it went in (yeuch), and normally twice the volume, but we do alternate this with RC Sensitivity tinned for pill hiding when his tum's too sensitive to risk any other yummies. We make one tin last 3 or 4 days though and feed the pills wrapped in the mush before his meal, as he's started to refuse to eat his meals if they've got medication in.

He starts on ProKolin Enterogenic sachets for a month when they arrive tomorrow, and is already on Protexin Bio-Premium, so I don't think we need any more pre or probiotics?
