I also keep Diarsanyl on hand, it works great for diarrhea and bacterial stomach upsets.
Do your dogs go outside? If he does not have giardia then you have to look around to see if he could be getting some bad bacteria from other sources. Make sure he does not have access to bird dropping or stagnate water.
Bil-Jac is a corn based dog food. Often switching from a corn based dog food to a premium dog food (no corn) the dogs will get soft stools for awhile. Canidae is a very good dog food. I know it is difficult feeding dogs when to have to feed different types of food to different dogs. It would be better if you could get them all on Canidae. If he keeps getting food that he is not used to eating that in itself can cause stomach upsets. |
Hi,
Yes they do go outside but I have a small yard with a privacy fence...I have done the search the yard thing...no standing water, nothing thrown over from other neighbors...as far as I know they all love us and our dogs....it has crossed my mind about poisoning! One other thing we have some Pear trees and a small Live Oak and one pesky little squirrel that keep my dogs hoppin and of course we do have occasional birds! Could they have something that might hurt my dogs or kiddos? How in the world will I keep birds out of my yard when three dogs cannot even scare this crazy squirrel?
I am at my wits ends with this! Until I figure out what is wrong do you advise me keeping him on chicken/rice? I do plan on Canidae for all three of them asap!
