Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I know. I'm such and animal lover I feel bad for them. I sometimes used to give my cat some powdered ginger on his food when he would start to vomit and it seemed to help some.

Even my sisters dog gets D sometimes and they take him to the vet and they don't know why he's sick.

Not all causes of D are from IBS though. So anyone who has a pet and they are getting sick have them checked out because it could be a lot of other things too. Some causes can be from a change of food (esp changed to quick, parvo, caronavirus, food allergies, has eaten something and it's still in them. We had a dog in last month that was on and off sick for months and the owner didn't bring his dog right away cause he thought it would go away because it wasn't frequent. We did x-rays and it had rocks in it's stomach and couldn't get them out. They had been there for months!! Another case was a dog had eaten the w of of there welcome mat, another had eaten a lot of cotton, and one even had a wire scrub.

*So make sure if you have a problem to have it check and don't just assume it's IBS.
