Ive been using them for about 2ish months now and the tearing/staining just started about 2 weeks ago, that's why I think its the food because nothing else in their diet has changed and today I noticed while they were outside doing thier business both of them had red staining around thier poopers.. I would think was a huge indicator that its the food  , I have never seen that before. My toy poodle has had tearing in the past, but I related it to the corn in her food. I have sent out for samples for a few different food companies agian, in hopes that I can find something they will eat and that will help, but the list is getting limited as we have tried many, many foods.  The acv that I was using was only 2 teaspoons in a large water bowl,(not sure of the size) I wouldnt think that it was too strong, but I will can try again using less. |
Good detective work, yes, I agree with you, if it's around the "poopers" it's food related. It's hard to always understand what in the food is causing the problem; it doesn't even have to be a primary ingredient, but in your case, I would think about changing the food. You might also want to think about adding a probiotic to the diet, to keep yeast at bay. A probiotic is "good" bacteria that are found in yogurt or you can buy just the probiotic. When too much of good bacteria are killed off, yeast can take over, so you want to add the bacteria that eats yeast.
By the way, from what I've read, about the ACV, only 1 tsp per bowl of water was used.
