Colitis & liquid poop: Is my dog's high-fiber diet quantity off?

These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the intestine, the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. A probiotic like pro-kolin can be added to the diet. I would definitely recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

Usually the first line approach would include a bland diet as you already started. A probiotic can be given as well (like pro-kolin) to help to re-establish normal intestinal bacterial flora. Usually this helps to speed up recovery. No other meds are needed for mild and uncomplicated colitis cases. Remember to gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitely recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

Yes, probably a bout of colitis. I would not be overly worried. Just do as you normally do by withholding food for a 6-8 hours. The only other thing I would suggest is a 30 day course of a probiotic. You can use any probiotic made for dogs but I recommend Fortiflora. One packet on food daily. It is very palatable so dogs usually eat with no problem. This will not hurt anything and may help to balance the normal flora (bacteria) in his GI tract. ( 1800petmeds.com/Purina+FortiFlora-prod10376.html ) Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.
