Green Stool

[Patches]

Hi I'm new to this forum. My dog patches is 13 years old, and I have noticed lately that her stool has been green. I have her on Purina dog food (Healty Morsels) I had tryed her on Kibbles n bits (Homestyle) and noticed that she was drinking way to much water like a gallon or more a day (she's a medium size dog) so I went back to the Healty Morsels and I did the change over slow.

Patches (my 4 legged baby) is not a well dog. She has cancer, she has had 2 breast remove and has lumps all over her (inside and outside) and I dont want to put her though anymore operations because of her age and the Veterinarian agrees with me about this.

I hope someone here can Please help me with this or give me some info about this matter, Thank You !

I saw this on a homeopathic website for canine and felines. Maybe it's a start to what could be causing your issue.

Green stools could be caused due to a variety of reasons. If the green stools occur along with vomiting and/or diarrhoea, the dog may be showing symptoms of an irritated bowel.

A dog's stool may be affected by things they are eating. Certain additives in what dogs consume, especially if he is on a commercially produced diet, mix with the bile in the stomachs and in turn create anywhere from a green-ish to a definitely green stool.

Monitor what your dog is eating.

If you haven't already, change the dog's diet to a more raw & natural diet.

Purchase slippery elm powder and dose 2 dessertspoons mixed into a little yoghurt or chamomile tea until it forms a paste and feed once daily only.

This will calm and line the whole gastrointestinal tract especially good for an irritated bowel. Continue this treatment for 12 weeks.

Check the backyard for any plants that may be hazardous to health.

If he still seems healthy, is eating drinking and exercising as normal, this may be just a sign that the body is adjusting to the herbal mix and it should return to normal in a week or two.
