Question
My Jack Russell has had loose bowel movement for some time now,  Medicine from my vet does't seem to be helping.  Is there anything natural I can use?

Answer
Hi Betty,

Your dog's diarrhea is a symptom of something, you need to find out what's causeing the recurrant/ intermitten episodes, not just cover up the symptom.

It would help me to help you if I had somemore information:

How often does your dog have bouts of diarrhea?
Has these episodes of diarrhea been going on long?
Did your vet diagose your dog with a specific condition?
Does the medication work, but the diarrhea returns?
What did the vet prescribe?
What do you feed your dog?
How old is your dog?

I should be able to give you some answers once you can get back to me with that info.
