digestive problems??????

mingdurga Mar 09, 2006 11:08 AM

Very soft stools, diarrhea like at times. Three and 1/2 yrs. old, about 6 lbs. Been on different diets: SD /wd, id, and Eukanuba low ash. Now trying SD/ md for 4-6 weeks.
If this doesn't work, a ultra-sound is next, followed by another procedure to look inside stomach area.
What is average cost of ultra sound and the procedure to look inside stomach? A specialist has to do these.
Last question? Can a home made remedy be made instead? I hate the Science Diet company.

Thanks,

Mike

Try feeding only ground beef for a week. If that doesn't work, give hin one softgel of enteric coated peppermint oil at each meal for one week. That should take care of this problem.

Just in case I need enteric peppermint oil, where is it sold?

Thanks,

Mike

You should be able to find it in a health food store.
