I have a 2 yr old airedale/german shep mix. Hes got a terrible problem with pica. It was so bad that in Oct 99 he had to have surgery to remove drier sheets that were obstructing the bowels. We have known for a year that he has inflammatory bowel disease. Weve got him on Venison and potato by IVD; prozyme, vitiamin B, derm caps, and bottled water. These have helped some--but when we began to switch from Venison to Science Diets ID which is a the new diet reccomended by experts, he begane the pica again. His pica in the past has been paper products and scarves that are swallowed whole and coughed back up within 72 hours. Does anyone out there have trouble with Pica or IBd with your airdales ? Any suggestions ?
