| choco-butt =( As you may guess from the title, my little boy has been having diarrhea lately. I have been slowly moving him from Royal Canin to Innova, and he's almost completely on Innova now. Because of the diet change and the fact that he's otherwise completely normal and not dehydrated, I'm not worried or running to the vet just yet. I'm wondering if anyone has used supplements or meds (immodium ad??) for this issue, what they were & the dose? Of course if the problem persists we'll be going to the doc, but until then I want to pursue some gentle home remedies.

| I'd be afraid to guess a dosage for you, so I'll say some prayers that he's better soon.

It's a Yorkie Thing Donating Member | No ideas on what to try, but was wondering why you're changing from Royal Canin? I have been thinking of going to that?

| Royal Canin is great but I'm moving in the all natural & raw direction for my babies.

| it is REALLY normal for a dog to have diarrhea when changing food especially since you are going from an ok food to a really good food... his body is trying to get rid of the "Crap" he doens't need.... so this might go on for 5 days or so... so give it a bit because you'l go to the vet and he'll give you meds that your little guy really doesn't need... make sure he is drinking ok... and just wait it out for a bit... if you ever decide to go home cooking or raw the same thing will happen again. |
