Thanks for your comments Abbie's mom. My pup doesn't have runny poop. I was just letting people know what Pat said about it. He did however have some difficulty this morning pooping. He had this last bit of poop he just could not muster to get out. I felt so bad for him. He kept trying. I had to help him out at the end and tried pulling it out. The poop looked normal. I rinsed his little tushie with some warm water to soothe that area. When I took my puppy for his first basic check up, I asked his vet about raw diets. She suggested that I wait until he was older and told me to feed him Merrick wet food. I told her that he wasn't picky and ate his dry food quite fine. She told me I should stick to all wet and prescribed him Forti Flora for digestion aid. My dog has not had digestion problems but she said that it with strengthen it. Of course I have been doing my own research and have stopped giving him Forti Flora and Missing Link that she prescribed and transitioned him to a raw diet. It is true that most vets do not study nutrition and often are financially aided by the commercial dog food companies so they push those brands. I certainly am not going to discount my vet about everything but I am learning new things everyday. I also plan to try different vet since I have only used one and have nothing to compare it to since this is my first pet of any sort. |
