He's an adult, just turned 2 today!
Thats another reason why I feel bad, its his birthday. I was going to take him out and spend the day but I want to make sure he is well.
I stopped the treats. Before I read your post I gave him some chicken and rice. So far he is okay. Should I give him the newmans today or should I wait until tomorrow? His poop has been normal and he is drinking water.
That's a good point about the ingredients. Here are the ingredients for the treats and the food I've been feeding him:

In other words - look at that bag of treats - what's in there? If you give us the exact name of those treats, some of us can take a look and might be able to guess at what might be common to the treats and the other 2 foods that could be upsetting him - compared to Newmans.
Also, he's not a puppy is he? He's an adult? If he's a puppy, there could be some other things to check out at the vets. |
