They suggested the rice/chicken diet. I gave them a small amount 2 tablespoons each heaping) (50/50 mix)..they loved it. How often shoulf I feed them and how much??? The vet seemed to think it was the food change. The act and play great!
Well for sure it was the change in food. Babys are still young our little guy did great on Royal Canin Baby Dog 30 and then switched over at 4 months to the Puppy Dog 33. His poop is perfect (although not always outside) mostly our fault! The chicken and rice is amazing for diarrea. The only issue there is that the rice is binding obviously to stop the diarrea, so alot of people think the problem got worse - they will eventually poop. Never heard of it being given to a pup that young though? Don't they have to complete their shots before having real food like broiled chicken? Good Luck!
