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!
If the birds are getting in the tree and poop is falling on the ground then it is possible the dogs can get hold of some. Are the dogs left out unsupervised or are you always there watching? As for the diet I think that is a call you will have to make. I will tell you that on the occasions that my dogs have had diarrhea I have never had to put them on a special diet. I would give them the Diarsanyl and the next day or sooner they would be back to normal without changing their diet. I agree with Wylie's Mom that fish and potatoes might be better than the chicken and rice. Some dogs just have a hard time digesting chicken. The problem with the fish is that some dogs don't like it. How is his stool now? How often does he go and is there any blood or mucus in it?
