If nothing is showing on a fecal exam at the vet's, I'd have a fecal sent to the lab for more thorough testing.
He has not prescribed antibiotics yet. He wants to see how he does on this prescription food first. He suspects it is from the change in food. If the diarrhea doesn't stop within a couple days we go back for bloodwork. I have probiotics on my list to ask about when I go back! Thanks for your thoughts!!
