Hi, thank you for your time :)
My 2 1/2 year old Yorkie suddenly started to have bloody slimy stools. He is perfectly fine, eats, plays, barks, etc., just the stools. they are alittle loose but not runny. Please advise,
thanks

Answer
Hi - Many times when this happens it tends to be an intestinal virus.
If it continues, he may need an antibiotic for a secondary infection. I would wait and try a few things...if they don't work, then you will need to call the vet.

Ok, let's start adding some canned pumpkin to his diet each day. Pure canned pumpkin - give him 2-3 teaspoons per day.  Mix this into his food for about 5 days.  See if that helps to firm up the stool.

Next, how about feeding some All Bran Cereal- give him 1 teaspoon per day for about 2 weeks.

How about some Acidophilus ( 1 billion CFUs) - give him 1/2 per day for 1 month. Great for his gut and intestinal health.

Last, NuVET Plus - An Immune System Healer and booster...
Excellent product to keep this boy healthy!
Will help to heal up the infection or bacterias in his belly.
Go here and give this special code: 81098 / The will offer you a 90 day guaranteed trial on the NuVET Plus wafers or powders.
1-800-474-7044  remember to give the code 81098 / not sold in any stores...only thru vets and breeders.

I sure hope my suggestions help. Watch him closely because he can dehydrate quickly with the loose stools.

Talk to you soon, give me an update in about a month:
best wishes...
