Poppy had another bout of dodgy tummy this week, starting just as my sisters came to stay. I need to keep a diary to be sure, but most bouts seem to coincide with more people being here, or us staying elsewhere. I suspect IBS (not IBD), as she is always ready for food and reasonably happy to walk, and it is worst at night and in the early morning. It lasts a few days until we can have 24 hours or so of peaceful routine, and then improves rapidly. She is very happy to see family and friends and to visit them, but because they all live some distance away visits are a bit of a special occasion, and out of the ordinary - ideally we would make it such an everyday occurrence that she could ignore it, but that is not feasible. I did start worrying about HGE yesterday, then looked at Poppy pogo jumping in the hope of getting supper early, bright and waggy tailed, and decided I was stressing unnecessarily myself! She is practically back to normal today.
I have laid in supplies of firming digestive paste and ordered a case of tins of Royal Canin sensitive diet, which I have found even better than home made chicken and rice, plus ice cubes of pumpkin, and of magic chicken stock to dilute (chicken stock, a small amount of salt, a larger amount of sugar) - any other ideas?
