| switched food too fast? Hello, I'm new here and need some advice. I have an 8 week old puppy, took to vet, all looked great. I switched the food soon after I brought her home because I felt she should be on Science Diet. The vet agreed and said to wet dry food down with water and mush it up instead of using canned food. (She gave this advice because I told her my puppy's only problem was diarrhea.) Anyhow, I did not do this gradually and her diarrhea seems to be getting worse. Yesterday she did not want to eat, so I got creative and have had luck feeding her by hand. For some reason she will eat it out of my hand more than the bowl. I've read alot about hyperglycemia and have made sure to give her what she needs for that, so she seems to be happy and playful. I just put her down to type this and she "growled at me"....so cute! (Oh, I also had advice on using goat's milk to wet the food instead of water. My puppy seems to like this pretty well, but I really don't know if it is the right thing to do.) I love this puppy SO much and am so worried that I'm going to not do the right thing for her. All advice is appreciated. I need to know if I should switch her back, or just continue with this food. What can I do to stop that diarreah? I'll check with the vet tomorrow too, but just thought I'd cross check here and see what I could find out. Thanks! |

| Have you ever fed her chicken? From my experiences, it seems to be a generally mild food that won't upset their stomach. Just straight boiled chicken, cooled, then cut up into very small pieces. |
