We have has tummy problems since the beginning. Any new treats caused trouble, especially beef treats. I feel so bad that I can't give him any more bully sticks. I have had good luck with Canidae dry food. Loki's trainer recommended it because it has pro-biotics in it. He hasn't had any diahrea since we switched (VERY SLOWLY over 2 weeks) to the Canidae. We are also very careful. He gets the same 2 kinds of treats, his food, and he can have chicken. That's it. I don't let anyone else feed him anything. We have taken away the pressed rawhide he loved, the cornstarch bones, anything that could make him sick.

We did several rounds of the Metronidazole. The one time he had mucousy poop it ended up being giardia, but the rest of the (3 or 4?) times he had diarhea it was food related. Metronidazole helped every time, though once he had to go back on it for a few more days. I don't know if he is growing out of it or if it is the Canidae, but he's been a lot better!
