    Broadway and GsdSlave like this.
    It could be the Colchicine that's causing the diarrhea. If it were my Pei I'd be inclined to take him off it for a few days to see whether there was any improvement. But please discuss it with your vet first as I'm no expert.

    A bland diet of either boiled chicken and rice or white fish and mashed potatoes is the usual recommendation for diarrhea. I've found stewed pumpkin particularly Butternut squash is very effective. Just add a tablespoonful to the above food.

    I've also used Pro-Kaolin in really bad cases of diarrhea, but please consult your vet, as I'm not sure whether it's suitable for a Pei with Shar-Pei fever. As neither of mine have ever suffered from it, I'm not the best person to ask!

    Hope that helps. Please let us know how Reggie gets on.
