YES we had this problem. Sometimes I could trace it back to food or rawhide or something, but sometimes it was out of nowhere. Only once was it giardia (a parasite) so the rest must have been food related. We switched to Canidae dry food and haven't had problems since. Loki gets no "table" food and only treats with very few ingredients (Charlee Bears and Cloud Star Itty Bitty Buddy Biscuits). We've very careful with him, but he's been good now for about 4 months! I've sliped him things, like a small piece of cheese, that would have made him sick before and he's been fine!!
When your pup gets diarrhea it's safe to feed plain rice, but start with a little bit. It's always good to get a fecal smear at the vet to rule out worms or a parasite. Loki had to get medicine 3 or 4 times it was that bad, it started with an M. No more! I LOVE Canidae. |
