DIARRHEA

[SGC]

Here's something else I noticed. He had a couple of cuts on his ears when I got him two weeks ago. They look exactly the same. No improvement or healing process appears to be in affect. I wonder if this is indicative of anything?

That sounds like an immune system problem, those cuts should have healed up in 2 weeks...

I did a quick search and did some reading on Malabsorption, etc. I agree, this could be the problem, that or IBD or EPI or SIBO.

Merck has an excellent article --

It also could be EPI, this is a helpful page –

Reading over that last page, it sounds a lot like this dog’s symptoms. I will ask a friend who studies nutrition and see if they have any thoughts. If I find anything else useful, I’ll post it.

There is tons of info on line, and I think you now have a start in the right direction. Poor dog, I hope you can get him better. Please do keep us updated.
