My poor bulldog Lola (1 year old in early Feb) has had diarrhea for quite a while now and we're at our wit's end. We have been to the vet multiple times and tried multiple things, but nothing has worked so far. The strange thing is that more firm during the day, but runny at night. She had bad diarrhea earlier on...we changed her food to Eukanuba low-residue RX diet. That seemed to do the trick (for 6+ months) until recently. The vet did a fecal examination to rule out worms and initially gave her some antibiotics and a mild sedative called clomicalm. During this time, we gave her some plain yogurt to offset the affects of the medication. The medicine didn't work. We then tried another type of antibiotic along with pro-pectin. This seemed to work temporarily, but did not ultimately solve the problem. Lastly, our vet gave her prednisone and sulfasalazine...which she has recently finished...also didn't work. Our vet said that he has done about all that he knows to do! he said that she may have IBS and that we may have to "deal" with it. Even thought Lola is acting and eating perfectly fine, I know that it cannot be good for her...and it certainly isn't good for the carpet!
Now, I know that there are more things that we can do and would like some suggestions...should I change her food? If so, what should I try and how do I go about changing it?
Thanks in advance for the help.
