I have had a full blood panel on him and it is all fine.. The vet put him on Duck and Potato and that was even a worse reaction. I tried giving him boiled chicken and rice for a few weeks but then he became severely constipated. I just don't know what to do. Any ideas? Your help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, right now to keep the diarrhea away he is on the liquid antibiotic meds. |
Even though the bloods were fine, this just doesn't sound right to me, poor guy

Has he been checked for giardia? Sometimes you need to check more than 1 fecal bc giardia tends to hide under scope.
One diet you might want to try is white fish (tilapia, cod, sole etc), potatoes and green beans. This is a very hypoallergenic diet and can be done for a good while without supplementing. If you do it longer term, you'd want to supplement with some add'l nutrients like calcium etc.
