| Constipation plus loose stool Rudy has started to act a bit constipated. For the past two days he has only gone poo once a day, it has always been 2-3. The thing is he struggles and then has a solid poo followed by running all through the yard and then a very loose stool, pudding consistency. He is currently 13 weeks old and has been completely switched to his current food, Innova puppy, for 2 weeks. I made the food transition over a 2 week period. The only thing that I can think of that might be different is he has finally figured out bully sticks and he is now eating those. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated; up until now his stools have been solid and consistant. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I had the same problem with Roxy on Innova. Never could get a good pooop consistancy with it. Switched to Cal Natural... same story. She really liked them both too, especially the Innova. It got so there was always a bit of mucus at the very end. Don't know what that was about. Slowly switched to Wellness & she is doing well on it. A diet change may be needed. I kinda don't think it's the bully sticks.

| I agree, what you need to do is change the food. That might be good for some dogs but not for others. It is like having a new born. You have to test until you get the best food ... I have always give to April Eukanuba. Never had any issues... |
