[quote=Anonymous]I have a very senior dog who is mostly doing great. But every couple of weeks for the last year, he has gotten terrible waves of diarrhea. It’s like clockwork, it happens so regularly. Each bout lasts a couple of days, is very stressful for him (and us), and leaves him quite weak. The vets don’t really have an explanation. They’ve tested for parasites, and they say his vitals are good during these bouts, though he sometimes needs IV fluids. They say maybe it’s related to an idiopathic vestibular issue (basically unexplained dizziness) that older dogs sometimes get. But the episodes feel far too regular for something that’s apparently random. He’s already on prescription dog food, which is otherwise very good for his digestion. Just wondering if anyone dealt with something similar and had an explanation. He’s a very very good dog, and this is the biggest quality of life issue for him, and for our family as we care for him.
