Colitis in dogs can best be described as very similar to what people experience with over-active bowel syndrome. Bacterial and viral infections, various diseases, allergens and colon problems — can all cause dog colitis.
Bacterial and Viral Infections
These types of infections can be a result of contaminated food, water, other pets, or coming in contact with an item with an infectious parasite. If the dog appears to be really struggling, or you notice blood in their stool; a veterinary visit may be necessary to get antibiotics for the animal. In lesser cases the infection should work its way out of your dog naturally. If the colitis becomes a frequent issue for your dog, you may have a holistic diet recommended for your dog, since natural foods are much easier for your dog to digest and are very effective at reducing colitis in dogs.
Diseases
Colon cancer, bowel infections and really any sort of health problem that arises in your dog can cause them to either become constipated or develop colitis symptoms. In all cases with regard to your animal having a disease, you’ll obviously already have had your pet’s problem diagnosed or a vet visit will be necessary.
Allergens
Allergens with regard to colitis in dogs means any type of food or environmental factor that causes them to display symptoms: certain foods, specific environments, plants, carbonated liquids, etc. Your observations on what to avoid in the future will be your dog’s best ally.
Colon Problems
Some dogs/breeds will have hereditary or developed colon problems like producing too much bad bacteria, or not enough good bacteria. Regardless of the reason, in most cases proper diet, supplements and medications may be required to treat the problem. In many cases fish, chicken, duck or venison holistic dog foods with pro-biotic will be required therapy — in addition to antibiotics or other medications prescribed by your veterinarian.
