Thank you for your response, I will check the starch in his feed, he only gets 2C a day 1ea feeding. I have been adding electrolytes to his feed since last weekend. He has not had any more bouts with colic but, his stool is still soft, starting to get some solid. He eats from a deep feeder on the ground to avoid sand intake, has plenty of fresh clean water and is drinking well. I lock him up at night so I can check is stool. His eating and attitude are normal. I wormed him on Thursday.
We have been here since July of 2005.
Regarding the pysllium do you think the pelleted or powder is better?
I look forwarded to checking out your new treats for large breeds.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Kara,
Sounds like you are on the right track! I prefer a powdered psyllium product that is of high quality such as Sand Relief.
Keep up the fine work!
