Question
Hi Marie,

It's Colleen, Blanca the Boxer's mom!!!

Blanca has diarrhea and her stomach is gurgling...pretty loud!  For about the last week, she has had some really stinky gas; so bad that we thought our septic tank was backing up!!! :)  I have her on Natural Balance, Fish and Sweet Potato, and we also add salmon and veggies.  I haven't changed anything in her diet, no new treats...she has been swimming a lot and we thought maybe it was the pool water that she has been swallowing, but she didn't have any problems last year during swimming season.  Today on her walk, she tired quicker than normal also.I made her some white rice and boiled chicken for dinner tonight but she didn't eat it.

Is there anything that we could give her to help her belly feel better?!!

Thanks in advance, Marie!!

Colleen and Blanca

Answer
Hi Blanca's MOM!  I bet it's a bacteria or parasite.  YOU can do some ACTIVATED Charcoal 280 mg one every 12 hrs for 3 days. (get at CVS or Walgreens)
This is not a drug / Natural

Also, you can take a stool for testing at the Vet.

HOPE this helps...
