That's what the vet was thinking of as a possiblity -- IBS -- hence the Metamucil. Now I'm confusing vet visits... hence the Metamucil ... or she suggested a biopsy to be sure. Well, a biopsy was not an option! I asked her what to do IF it was IBS, and I've been following her suggestions (Metamucil, actually, was her suggestion).
I think my guy just has an uber-sensitive tummy. For a monster, you'd think he'd be a bit tougher in the belly, right?
He had a poop this morning. It wasn't mushy, but it wasn't FIRM. Then again, I've only given him three spoons of yogurt (and that's slow-acting). I'm looking forward to the arrival of the probiotics.
Back to normal? Woot! Woot! Woot! I love that! Let's keep our fingers crossed that it stays that way.
I know I never thought I would be so happy to see good poop
Probiotic powder worked for Lanie. Hope it does the trick for Artie as well! Although...after you master the art of Artie's perfect poop, you will have a lot more time on your hands
You would so love Lucy's poop. Two firm, hard little tootsie rolls twice a day. And she's my liver compromised dog on a vegetarian kibble (in the morning) and limited ingredient Wellness in the evening.

I hope the chewables work magic like the powder, because I opted for the chewies (more like treats).
I don't think Artie will ever have perfect poop because he knows I wouldn't know what to do with all that extra time. LOL!

Sorry I don't have anything to add except to say that I hope Artie feels better soon and this poop mystery gets resolved soon! I gave the probiotic powder to my foster kittens (they have it for cats too) and it really seemed to help. Hopefully the chewables work for Artie! Poor little guy.
