In reply to Peter Hart. Hi Peter. It sounds like you've done everything right and the problem is not responding. The best advice I can offer is to seek a referral. I am unsure is a canine internal medicine specialist is available in Tasmania, however. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks for this valuable info.
As we’re in Tassie we can’t easily get to visit you but would welcome the opportunity to seek your advice about our dog’s problem.
He’s a 9 year old Boxer who has been suffering with very loose bowel motions for several months now.
He originally lost appetite and weight and exhibited loose and nasty motions at this time. Bloods revealed a loss of protein. Scan was inconclusive , but led to exploratory surgery which showed nothing. antribiotics including metroniazole over 8 weeks finally got rid of an infection, but seem to have locked us into loose bowel motions forever.
He gets half a macrolone tab each morning and this keeps his appetite up. We also give a daily dose of Protexin
We’re using Hills i/d diet (a can of wet and 3 cups of dry daily),but the looseness continues.
We’ve tried chicken and rice to no effect and also Hills z/d and another special food.
Nothing works.
The dog is happy and willing to play at any time.
His coat is good and general health also.
His original weight loss has been reversed and he’s a healthy 32.9kg
He controls his motions but they are very loose emerging in a liquid stream.
Motions are normal colour and there’s no mucus.
Any thoughts you might have would be gratefully received
Peter Hart
