I am not sure if it is related to the raw instinct. 4 days ago he had a bout (only lasted 1/2 day) w/diarrhea and I didn't change his diet. I did give him some canned pumpkin when he had the diarrhea. I thought I should add some brown rice in w/the ground beef but I really don't think that helps. Does anyone know if too much protein can upset a yorkie and cause diarrhea? I really would like to find a balance dry food he would eat any suggestions? I was thinking of trying canidae again. I do grind some of it up and serve him some whole. I am not sure why he occassionaly gets diarrhea. He is eating, drinking and very active. |
the diarrhea is probably because of how often and quickly you are changing his food. It can be a little tough on their small tummies and usually need 7-10 days to make a complete change to a new food. The ground lean beef and egg and rice a great.. why not home cook?? sounds like that is his favorite! add a veggie, general suppliement and calcium suppliement and you are all set!!
