| Sophia is sick :( She started itching again on her food, so we decided to change flavors on Saturday (slowly, of course). Around 1, she barked to go outside. She NEVER goes in the middle of the night unless she's sick. Sure enough, bad diarrhea . She woke us up every hour after that. She's really not feeling well.. I feel so bad for her . Please keep her in your thoughts.

| I hope she's feeling better soon... I believe I've read in your posts that you've tried a few different brands with her?... I'm wondering if she's sensitive to the additives used in the foods, as oppossed to being allergic to any specific grain or protein. One way to tell is if she's sensitive to chicken based dog food, but she has no problem with home cooked chicken? Sometimes with mine I put them on a chicken and white rice diet for a week, till their tummies calm down. A tsp of plain pumpkin can firm things up, and help prevent fluid loss/ dehydration. Is she still having diarrhea? Is she eating and drinking normally?

She still has diarrhea. She's not much of a morning eater, so it doesn't surprise me that she hasn't ate yet. She has had water and I have given her some nutri cal just in case. Thank you Kristin!

Actually, I'd take her in anyway as having Diarrhea since Saturday is a bit of a long time for these little ones to go....

| Poor baby I hope she is feeling better soon. It is awful trying to find food that your baby will eat and that will agree with sensitive tummies and allergies. It took me two years. I will pray that Sophia gets over this quickly. How is Brody? I hope they don't have that bug again

| Poor Sophia. What food do you have her on now? It seems like a lot of YTers have problems finding the 'right' food for their pups. I guess we have been lucky... The worst reaction was gunky eyes to the Blue Wilderness. I hope she starts feeling better soon...

Have you tried her on any of the Limited Ingredient Diets? And just to mention, most of the better brands of dog food will give you a refund if your dog can't eat their food...

| Thank you, me too! Blue buffalo and California natural I used the limited ingredient lines. California natural was grain free, too.

You may need to see a Nutritionist to develop a diet specifically for her.
