I tried looking for the book earlier and was told it either out of print or difficult to find. I will keep looking though.

I have been giving him peppermint, slippery elm, rutin, and a blend of marshmallow root, ginger, licorice root, kelp and alfalfa. It seems to be soothing but he is more miserable than ever these days.

I spoke with the "doggy dietician" today and will be doing a consult with her shortly. I wasn't sure about grains but I gave him oatmeal for breakfast today. He really liked it although maybe I should not do that anymore. I have been giving him white fish and a blend of veggies for dinner with fish oil, flax seed oil and probiotics.

I really make a point to pay attention and try to figure out what foods do what to him but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to his problems. I have been unable to associate any food with any one problem he has. It is so frustrating!
