I wanted to try Angel eyes for his runny eyes too. And he is on Chicken Soup for the puppy lovers soul.
Where as my older boy is never on the same food (although I'm starting to find out that some of the holistic foods are a bit too much for his tummy, merrik and evengers) HELP HELP HELP with my big boy, his tummy does best on nutro but I'm trying to switch him (he get's really looose stool with merrik and evengers. It is still formed btu when I go to pick it up ... well no so formed anymore LOL and it STINKS!!!! Oh and he farts a TON!!!) Any suggestions for any of the above info would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks you guys!!! I LOVE YT! |
Because of the immunity received by their Mum, a 17 wk old pup shouldn't have allergies yet. If the eye drainage is really excessive - then I'd have someone take a closer look to be sure there are not ingrown lashes, lashes growing on the inside of the lid, or duct issues. Angel eyes, btw, is an antibiotic; I've always had concern about giving a dog a low-dose of antibiotic every day as this can cause resistance.
As for your other guy - you need to look at the ingredient lists and see which ingredients in foods are the ones that DON'T cause the loose stools, then look for good foods with the right ingredients. If he is having severe gas, then the ingredients in what you're currently feeding are irritating his system. You could also consider giving him a probiotic/digestive enzyme if you think his system needs add' support (but the ingredient elimination is probably most important here, unless he had a disease/bug as a pup).
