| Have you tried probiotics? Maybe her system just needs help getting regular.

| And the vets are stumped? Hmm... I think this might be difficult. He sounds a lot like my friend's pup who had issues with runny poo. She kept trying different foods until one just worked. She took it slow and allowed her pup to try to adjust to each food. Eventually, one worked for her sensitive stomach. Now if only she could find something for her itchiness.

| Yay...I think we may be facebook friends too??? Not sure what he was eating...he really wants my dogs Acana Pacifica but Im not letting him have it. I wonder if Instinct just doesnt work with him...its been awhile since Ive had a baby but it seems he should have solidified by now.

| Yes we are FB friends. except for I'm bad about ever being on there and catching up. Good luck with his little one! I'm sure you'll figure it out. Just remember to keep him hydrated. (can you tell I've learned a lot over the years )

| I never really meant to leave YT...I foster with yorkie rescue and also volunteered with 2 other dog rescues and a wildlife rescue and just became overwhelmed with my responsibilities with the dogs and had no time to go online. But when I have a problem I always know YT can help.

| Hopefully some of the more experienced members with fosters will chime in. It's really nice to see a familiar face, even if it's just an avatar pic.

| I will look into Fromm...I try to put my fosters on a high quality food that is really easy to find so when they get adopted the new owner can keep them on the same. I feel like I dont see Fromm very much but I will double check.

| I am new to YT and have had my little girl for about a month now. I switched her over to Wellness Just for Puppy over a period of time from Taste of the Wild that the breeder had her on. She has the same problem. All of her stools are really soft and can get all stuck to her little bottom. I'm not sure what to do, I hate having to give her more baths than necessary. Any ideas? Could it be the wellness? |
