Hi Janice,
I'm sorry to hear about Marciano's diagnosis. I don't have any experience
with colitis, but my girl has kidney disease, chronic pancreatitis and
suspected IBD. I would seriously consider taking Marciano to a board
certified internal medicine specialist. The IMS will get you the specific
diagnosis and work with you and your day to day vet on a treatment plan.
http://www.acvim.org/PetOwners/FindaSpecialist.aspx I did a search of yahoo
groups and didn't see one for dog colitis, but we belong to dogpancreatitis,
which might be a good group for you as most of the dogs have multiple GI
tract issues. Ann, the moderator, knows a lot about IBD and colitis in
boxers.

Hi All,
I have been around for forever and have seldom needed help but my vet (of
30 years) told me today that my 10 year (approximately) young female
brindle rescue may have a type of colitis that boxers are prone to and he
said that it's untreatable.......I was dropping off a particularly messy
stool sample that looked like it had a touch of blood and lots of mucus and
some of her intestine involved...Have any of you dealt with this issue?
Any information would be so appreciated.....my Marciano seems so healthy
most of the time but the past couple of months she has these episodes and
her vet and I have been trying to treat her but after a few weeks she seems
to relapse and I'm concerned. Pumpkin doesn't do anything and besides she
won't eat it.. She is on a low residue diet and no treats. Please help
us. Thanks so much in advance.
Janice &
