If you're a dog person, you know the scariest thing is thinking you may have to take your family's best friend to the vet for the last time.
This was the very real situation we were facing with our beautiful Frenchie Kara.
I remember the first day we brought her home, it was coincidentally my daughter's birthday. And her first birthday since I have been divorced from her mom.
She was such a beautiful puppy and we fell instantly in love with her!
As she acclimatized to our home she quickly became a beautiful part of our new family. She was loving, happy, and full of little puppy energy.
After my divorce, she was such a joy to come home to everyday. Especially the days where my daughter was with her mom. She made my apartment feel like home.
She definitely helped me through that very rough time.
Kara was such an amazing addition to my life but the only problem was Kara had a pooping problem. I had read that digestive problem were common with French Bull Dogs but something just didn't feel right.
Most Puppies have a pooping problem, right? But we knew within a few days it wasn't anything we had seen with our old family dog.
We would take Kara for walks and she would have loose stool. Not only would she diarrhea almost every time she pooped on the walk but she would then come home and go in the house again.
It didn't matter if we let her out in the yard. She would come back in the house and sneak off to a corner, or behind a couch, and poop again.
I was at a loss to figure out how to stop it. I thought I was just bad at puppy training but I needed to find a way to make it stop.
And her constant butt drags on the carpet... THEY HAD TO STOP TOO!
I read all about French Bulldogs and I even went to my vet to try ask her help with the problem.
At first she thought it was worms. So we did a deworming treatment, but the problem still didn't stop.
Kara kept hiding. And she kept pooping. So I kept trying new options.
I tried it all;
