bad tummy

Wise Old Thumper
fudge keeps getting a bad tummy so I obviously need to do something with his diet. Cut down ob fresh veg maybe? Is there some veg that is likely to cause diaorreah that I should avoid? :?

at the moment he has handfull of SS in the morning and evening, small bowl of veg evening and hay ad lib
 
Pro-biotic in the water and a hay only diet for a couple of days? Then reintroduce things a bit at a time to see what is causing the problem?

I can't give mine cauliflower as it gives Salt and Bobby wind :oops: but I can't think of anything that's given mine the runs :?
 
last night he had a mixture of kale, savoy cabbage and romaine lettuce, I wasn't sure if any of those could have caused the problem but he never has more than 3" x 3" of each anyway :?

Can I get the probiotic from a pet shop or vets only? actually I might have some in the cupboard left over from Amy will look
 
I don't give Rudy broccoli anymore and I don't give any of them Kale anymore either as it gave Sophie awful wind :? :oops: :oops:

I'd go back to basics and stick with pellets and hay and then introduce veg in again slowly so you can work out what it is!

I tend to stick to things like carrots, cauliflower, sweet pea's, baby corn, herbs, peppers and don't have any problems! :D
 
I just gave him some dandylion leaves and some carrot today as he seems to have been ok, so will have to see how he is tomorrow
