A Herbal formula for Colitis in Dogs
Colitis in dogs
Colitis in dogs is the term used to describe inflamation of the colon (lower bowel).
When the colon becomes inflamed for whatever reason, it can no longer store faeces or absorb water normally.
Symptoms of colitis in dogs can include:
Stools containing mucus
Cramping
Fresh blood in the stools
Diarrhoea or loose stools
Lack of stool consistency, from complete liquid to solid or a mixture
Vomiting, fever, abdominal pain and weight loss in severe cases
CAUSES OF COLITIS IN DOGS
Dog eating something that it should not have done.
Dogs who habitually raid the bins get colitis quite frequently.
Poor quality foods, dairy products, or fatty foods are common culprits.
Dietary intolerance to specific food ingredients
Parasites, including hookworm and whipworm
The cause colitis in dogs sometimes cannot be identified.
