It is really hard to say. I think his tummy and GI track need to settle down. The lean, boiled hamburger meat with brown rice for a while is best. You might want to look into adding a Probiotic since he is on the Metro.

The Metro didn't work for TJ. First we tried a single source protein diet to see if it was food related. We did the Duck/Potato RX food and then the Natural Balance Duck/Potato (I hate byproducts, so I wanted him off the RX food) the NB was better in my eyes, but his episodes didn't really stop. We did blood work, and his folate levels were sky high, the Vet said an overgrowth of bacteria in his intestines, so he said to try Tylan Powder everyday, as this helps dogs w/colitis type problems. For TJ this did the trick. He was on Tylan for about a year and finally every thing got back to normal, no more Tylan and now TJ is on a Raw food diet (Bravo and Stella and Chewy's - chix blends)
