Anyone Else Have a Sick Dog?

I have a standard poodle with irritable bowel disease (possibly caused by an episode of giardia, which she got at an off-leash area about five years ago). In any case, when it flares up, I treat it with white rice (cooked to complete mushiness), cooked carrots (ditto), and massive amounts of a human probiotic that comes in a vegan formula (so no meat proteins). Three or four days of that diet, then I gradually reintroduce her regular food. She normally takes probiotics every day, but I triple/quadruple the dose when her IBD flares up.
