Phew! That's all I need.
Hi Stephanie,
This goes out to Pamnock too.
As noted in the GI Stasis post on page 12, Pam recalled that Tucker washaving some soft stools before the onslaught of the GI Stasis. I shouldjust note that it was hard small poops at first, and the cecotropeslost their grape-like shape.
Pam noted that inflammation is an issue with GI Stasis. Kathy Smithsays in her book that ibuprohen (sp?) or aspirin can help with pain andinflammation
That said, how is our Chompers doing? Still seeing those soft stools?
Obviously, this issue is still on my mind. Hope that no news on this post was good news. In any case, let me know.
Pam, if the soft stools are still happening, would you think thataspirin would be beneficial at this time? Since they only happen fromtime-to-time, what do you make of that? Not meaning to put you on thespot by any means, just am curious about this.

Sorry it took me so long to respond to that last post, haven't been online in a few days.
He's back to normal, as far as I can tell anyway. No more signs of softstools anywhere. He's eating and drinking as much as he always does.Plays on a regular basis too.
It did take a couple of days to clear up, but I think the oatmeal really helped with that one.
