We struggled with our Magic from the time she was little to about 1 1/2 years old with a sensative tummy. We went through the I/D routine and she would get back to dry food and would last a short time and start having problems again. We finally switched vets....and he put her on Purina DCO which is a dry food for pups with stomach problems (usually colitis).....While I am not to fond of the ingredients - it was a dry food and it worked great for Magic and after using that for about 6 months we have been able to transition her onto Natural Balance Sweet Potatoe & Fish (which is good for sensative tummies).

We learned to move very slowly with changing foods with Magic because that would set off her sensative tummy. (Slowly being a period of over 2 weeks at times...starting with 5% new for 24 hours, then 10% new for 24 hours, etc.) We also stopped all treats.

Make sure you vet has rulled out things like worms and giardia and such.

Our vet told us that once their little tummies got "out of balance" that is was a slow process to get back that balance.....as the lining of their tummy can be very sensative.

Good luck in finding a solution that works for you!
