What is the cause of the diarrhea? I'm not sure what to recommend since I don't know the cause....but this frequency of diarrhea is not normal at all...there is definitely something going on there. What are you feeding and have you tried other foods? Have you tried a prescription food yet? |
I have always thought his diarrhea was from a sensitive digestive system. We feed both dogs Canidae canned chicken and rice, ALS. Bentley has never eaten hard food, nor will he now. We put in a spoonful of pumpkin to help with the diarrhea. To encourage appetite, we will put in a little Tripette. We have to be careful as we have discovered this exacerbates the diarrhea, so a little goes a long way. Any change in his diet, however slight, will result in diarrhea.
My husband suffers from tremendous pain during the winter as well, so he identifies with Bentley. Keepig them both warm is of paramount importance. Bentley doesn't like clothes, but I need to find a sweater that covers his joints yet won't allow him to wriggle out of it in xxs.
Thanks again for any advice or insight! I appreciate all suggestions and thoughts. I don't want to loose my baby, but I don't want him to suffer.
