we have a tiny 6 mth old who had chronic runny diarrhea, went to the local health animal store and he told us to use canned food for older dogs, mix with a little pure pumpkin, sprinkle with oatmeal flakes and mix and feed, within 24 hours he was fine and has been since. they also said if this didnt work as well put a little egg with it. we havent had any diarrhea since feeding this and the older dog food formula has alot of vitamins, so really hope this helps
