[quote=Anonymous]We had this problem when our Aussie was a puppy. For her it was mostly in the form of intense cramping, causing her to vomit and diarrhea.

We started on Hill's Rx Z/D which is Formulated w/ Hydrolyzed Animal Protein to Help Minimize Signs of Adverse Food Reactions.

2x/day we feed her 1/3 Hill's, 1/3 fresh browned ground 99% ground turkey (she can't eat chicken) 1/3 raw carrots. In the morning we sprinkle her food with the fortiflora.

This has helped immensely. However, it turned out she had a cyst in her abdomen. Removing that helped a lot, so her episodes now are rare.

If I realize an episode is coming on I give her a small dose of Cerenia.

She had an episode about 6 months ago that the Cerenia didn't avert. They hydrated her and gave her antibiotics. In an ultrasound (X-ray??) they could see her intestines were inflamed and blood work showed slightly raised white blood cell count. We live in a complex that is cared for by a maintenance crew. I hadn't realized they had put fertilizer down, which in turn caused the problem, we believe.

But it literally had been about 4 years since her last episode. [/quote]
