Well, i decided to take some of your guys' advice and switch up her food so she gets a variety of nutriets. I still have 1/2 bag of Canidae so I am planning to give her half and half until im out.
The new food i decided on was Natural Balance Lamb and oatmeal (she has been having skin issues so thats why the oatmeal).
It has been about a week now and she eats about half of a daily portion of dog food and always in the middle of the night. She refuses to eat it during the day and has been eating between 11 pm and 1am.
For breakfast she has had about 3-5 pieces of cereal. and when i get home from work she has about 1/2 slice of turkey or a tiny piece of chicken. This is clearly not enough for her and she refuses to eat until i go to sleep.
ANYWAY... my question:
How long is it normal for her to have diarreah while in the process of switching food. first few days were really runny....now about a week of soft stool.
Im corcerned that maybe she doesnt like the new food and is starving!!!! Please help! |
I don't have an answer to your questions but I just wanted to respond with a resounding I hear ya! lol I have been through a food switching nightmare with Bella, Coco seems to tolerate anything though. I ended up going back to one of the less desirable brands just because she can handle it better then the 6 star food I was trying. I know that switching the food for variety sounds like more fun for them, however now I think that if they are doing well don't mess. hope your babies system gets back to normal soon.
