Is he starting w/ a fistula? Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC Celebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions visit www.geocities.com/pinehillgsds In a message dated 11/2/2008 7:22:03 P.M.

No worms, and stool is firm (very firm), no other symptoms. I started cleaning the bottom with babywipes a couple of times a day, and it seems to ease it, but doesn't stop it. No sores, no bleeding. Anybody with an answer? Yes, he'll go see the vet if it continues, but in the meantime? Stormy **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel. Check out Today's Hot 5 Travel Deals!
