Anyone ever experience their baby getting the runs after trying a new treat? I know that changing foods can cause stool issues, but I've never encountered treat problems.

I picked up these new treats at the vet that seem to be pretty healthy (and they are made locally). The girls go nuts over them, but they gave little Miss Riley the runs. I don't know if it's because a treat to her is practically 1/2 a meal considering her tiny size and poor appetite so it would almost be like changing her food or if it just doesn't agree with her.

Has anyone else had this experience? Do I just discontinue the treat with her or introduce tinier bits more slowly? I was thrilled to find something she would eat, but I don't want daily runs either.
