I even tried the EN rx by Purina...GAS. Couldn't figure that one out since it's a gastro rx. Anyway, I started her on Z/D ultra allergen rx...with the permission of nutritionist and she's been good for 2 days now. This is a first! I've been adding a little cottage cheese with a few meals and chicken with one meal. This little girl needs some weight....she's 2.12 lbs...has gained 7 ozs. since we got her which was 3/28. It's very frustrating so say the least. I know this is probably not a "forever" diet, but I need vaccs completed and I couldn't do them when she was having these probs.
Where did you get Alice? Lena came from a breeder in Pa.

Awww, she looks just like Alice in that pic
I got her from my aunt's co-worker who had a litter (in the Wilkes-Barre area). I know, I know BYB, but she was free and honestly , that's how I usually end up with whatever pets I've ever had. They usually just kind of "come to me" vs. me seeking them out lol. The only pet I've ever paid for and actually looked for a breeder for was my Akita since I knew I wanted that breed and they tend to be on the rare side.
Well, she's going to the vet for testing (starting with a BAT and comp/CBC) sometime in the next few weeks. In the mean time I know she does fine on Nature's Variety's canned lamb and raw lamb and the current loose stools already cleared up by having only chicken/rice/pumkpin today. If her tests come back normal I may just stick with the canned and raw lamb since it works for her and it is balanced to feed exclusively. We'll see, maybe she just has a hard time digesting kibble, it's frustrating, that's for sure.
