Colitis

[elray]

My 6 year old has been diagnosed with colitis. She is presently on 5mg Clindanium, 3x daily and 500mg Azulfidine, 3x daily. She's been on this dossage for over 2 months now and has not responded to treatment. We are looking for a new approach.

A raw natural diet would probably help.

An easy to digest bland diet would help. And make sure water intake stays good as they can lose a lot of fluid through the bowel. I had a cat with it, and it's misery for both parties, owner and animal. I treated her mainly with diet- *no* grains. Also make sure to keep a regualr worming program and be aware they can have stressed immune systems, too (more suceptable to catching illnesses). Try a raw diet, but be careful with bones. You may want to go with meat and bone meal and avoid gassy veggies (cabbage family, brocoli)
