When Loki had mucusy poop it turned out to be Giardia. It can also be worms. Or it can be nothing or simply that they ate something like cheese. Just keep the vet informed, this is something important to let them know about.
As far as the Eukanuba, let me first say that I don't know why this is so often recommended by vets. It's not a good quality food. Most of it is corn, which is not the best. Let me also say it's not good to keep changing around food on a dog that is prone to diahrea. Consistency is key. Loki gets his food and ONE kind of treat. We have discovered (the hard way) that anything else throws him off and we deal with 2 days of diahrea just because the cashier at Petsmart gave him a random treat. Loki did VERY well on Natural Balance (which you can get at PetCo) and it is one of the better foods out there. There is not ONE good food, but many it just depends on what is good for your dog. All you have to do is read the ingredients and make the decision for yourself. By-products, corn, and preservatives are bad. So are fillers like corn. Make sure they use things like "Chicken" and "Chicken meal" not "Chicken by-products" and the best foods list several meats first, not just Chicken but Lamb too. Please do the research yourself and don't just take my word for it, but here are some of the better foods out there. Some are harder to find than others, but they really aren't any more expensive than the grocery store brands - especially since Yorkies don't eat very much.
Canidae (Loki is now eating this, I chose it because it has pro-biotics in it and Omega 3)
Wellness
Chicken Soup
California Natural
Innova
Natural Balance
There are so many more, but as a rule most foods at Petsmart/Petco are not the best. Check to see if you have a Pet Supplies Plus near you - they have more brands to choose from. |
