My puppy developed diarrhea at about 14 weeks after receiving 3rd shot of DHPP. So we took her to the vet, we received 7-day course of metronidazole for diagnosis of intestinal bacterial overgrowth. As soon as antibiotic was stopped, diarrhea developed again. Vet told us to do another 7 days of metronidazole. We completed this course, and her stool became hard. But now one week later, she is having diarrhea alternating with hard stools.
This is what we feed:
Free feed of Froom's duck and sweet potato dry food (recommended by our vet) + one tablespoon of Fromm's beef canned food in the morning and evening;
Her training treats are Zuke's mini naturals;
Her treats/chews are bully pizzles; pig and sheep ears, barnsdale farm humerous bone (all made in US and Canada).
Absolutely no human food, and occasionally she steels cat food (we usually keep it behind locked doors).
I try to add probiotics leftover from the metronidazole treatment.
Has anyone had this issue before? Is it somethind that we are feeding her? Any other suggestions?
