Well the vet recently put her on Royal Canin sensitivity food, but it is really expensive at £1.00 a tin, so I am cooking my own chicken and rice, this has taken a week for her to adjust to, we had some runny poops, but now she is solid again.
Has anyone else got this problem.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice they can give me? I am also concerned about her not getting the right vitamins. My 5 year old yorkie is also eating this now too, as when i was feeding him different foods,because he is fussy he would leave some and Holly would eat it. I just couldn't keep tabs on her.NOT GOOD
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys. |
if the chicken and rice is working.. STAY WITH IT>. and starting adding some veggies.. grated carrotts.. see how they affect her.. sounds like you should consider always home cooking from now on.. Layla's diarrhea clearned up as soon as i started. Also go look in a pet store for a supplimnet like Missing Link and her diet will be more complete... you can also add broccoli, peas (cooked) you can also add vitamin E and fish oil or cod liver oil to her food if you wanted above and beyond the Missing Link. good luck and i hope it helps. if you want more help with home cooking you can pm me
