Hi everyone,
I have been away from the boards for a bit . My son was earning his scuba OW certification
so I have been busy with all he ( and dh , who was becoming recertified) required. Anyway I have a question for you all...
Chloe and Sydney have been on Wellness Original Core for many months now . They both love the food and eat it very well. I use to free feed them but in the last couple months we made some changes . Syd ( my 10 pounder) became such a little piggy that now I feed them two meals a day (with a lunch of yogurt and carrotts or something in between the two) and they get snacks throught the day. I dont leave the dry food down like I use to. They seem fine with it and I dont have to worry about Syd eating all the food and Chloe getting none , I can watch when I feed them to make sure they both eat. Even though Chloe is small (2.5 lbs.) I don't worry about her not eating enough because she gets her yogurt and snacks mid day (and throughout the day
) so I'm sure she is OK.
The problem is now Sydney is pooing
all the time! She has been trained for
years , but it seems like after she eats the poo is right on its way out , practically while shes still finishing up her food! She has even pooed on my blanket on my sofa!! Needless to say Mama was not happy
. In the beginning yeah , she had to make an adjustment to the food , but everything had evened out and she was only pooing once ,
maybe twice a day in the morning and evening...but now its all the time !
I don't know if it's the food starting to effect her or maybe she isn't getting enough to eat in between her meals or for her meals ( I do give her the recommended amounts + a bit over sometimes) I dont know what is causing it. It's like she eas and poos RIGHT AWAY!
Should I go back to free feeding? Or should I try a brand with less protein?
UGGHH
Just when I thought I had it figured out , I'm thrown a curve ball
My vet doesn't seem to think it of ant concern , but shes not here on poo duty!
opinons PLEASE!
