Logic Diar-Stop (formerly Diarsanyl Digestive Function Oral Paste) For digestive upsets in medium & large dogs. Diar-stop is balanced & proven intestinal support for cats & dogs. Diarrhoea is an extremely common problem in dogs & cats & has a variety of potential causes for example: Dietary sensitivity & intolerance Worms (roundworms & tapeworms) Parasites (such as giardia & coccidia) Bacterial infection (such as salmonella & campylobacter) Viral infections (such as coronavirus rotavirus & parvovirus) Pancreatic disease Inflammatory bowel disease Diarrhoea can vary in it`s severity & length of duration. In mild cases affected dogs & cats may remain bright & alert in themselves whereas in more severe cases they may become unwell have a high temperature develop concurrent vomiting have blood in the faeces and/or become dehydrated. Most mild diarrhoea cases resolve within a few days with appropriate therapy whereas severe & ongoing diarrhoea cases require hospitalisation & a thorough veterinary investigation. A number of supplements are available such as Logic Diar-stopĀ® that help to support intestinal function. These contain intestinal protectants (such as montmorrillonite) which maintain intestinal function by coating & protecting the intestinal cells & absorbing toxins. There are also newer products available which contain prebiotics (such as Logic Diar-stop). These help to maintain intestinal flora by promoting the growth of good bacteria (such as bifidobacteria & lactobacilli) at the expense of potentially harmful pathogenic bacteria. If your dog or cat is suffering from diarrhoea then veterinary advice should be sought especially if they are unwell in themselves and/or the diarrhoea is ongoing. Your veterinary surgeon will then be able to investigate the possible cause & develop a treatment regime that is tailored to your pet.
