How to deal with intestinal disease in dogs?

1.Emergency treatment in the acute phase

Fasting observation

• Fasting for 12-24 hours for adult dogs (no more than 6 hours for puppies), during which a small amount of warm water or electrolyte water (5ml/ hour per kg of body weight) is provided.

• After resuming feeding, give priority to low fat and easy to digest foods, such as: cooked chicken breast puree + white rice (ratio 1:3).

Symptom monitoring

• Record the frequency of vomiting/diarrhea and fecal behavior (keep photos for veterinary diagnosis).

• Measure body temperature (normal range 38-39 ° C), if above 39.4 ° C to alert for infection.

2.Daily conditioning program

Diet management

• Choose prescription foods with a single protein source

• Avoid sudden food changes and follow the 7 Gradual Transition method.

• Ban human high salt/high sugar/dairy products (e.g. milk, cheese).

Health supplement

• Probiotics: WERVIC probiotic powder + probiotic nutritional cream (such as Pro-Kolin) + prebiotic combination products are recommended.

Digestive enzymes: Pancreatic enzyme supplements (for dogs with a history of chronic pancreatitis).

Mucosal repair: glutamine (dose: 30mg/kg/ day).
