I got my puppy, Cody, exactly 1 month ago. When I brought him home that day, he was having bad bloody diarrhea. I called the breeder and she said he has been fine before that. I know she was telling the truth because he pooped normal before I left the breeders house to take him home. Later that evening, he pooped out some hard bright green plastic. So I assumed that was what caused the blood. Poor little guy! I called the breeder and she said that some of the older dogs tore up a toy and he must have got a piece of it.

The blood and diarrhea continued for 2 days, and I took him to the vet. They put him on a stomach medicine, on canine I/D prescription diet food and medicine for Cocidia (sp?). While he was on this medicine, everything was great! Normal stools, eating and playing.

Once he was done with the medicine, I started to ween him back onto the Eukenuba puppy food. Then the bloody stools/diarrhea returned. This time the blood was really bad. I took him back to the vet and he said he has a lot of bacteria in his intestine. So he gave him Flagyl to cure it. I also put him back on the prescription diet food. Again he was fine while on the medicine. He also was normal for a few days after. I still have him on the prescription diet.

Yesterday the diarrhea returned but with no blood. He poop has been very soft. I don't know what to do. Its getting me worried that he has a permanent condition. Even the prescription diet gives him diarrhea! Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts?

Thanks!
