| Soft Stool Our Buster has his teeth cleaned about 3 months ago and they also removed 7 baby teeth. He was under anathesia nearly an hour. He was 15 months old at that time. Since that surgery his stool has never returned to his normal firm consistency. He has been through 3 rounds of antibiotics and probiotics and still he is having soft to loose stools. I am trying a new vet and he did complete bloodwork and also got him on his latest antibiotic regimen. One of the next steps he is going to try is a prescription food which I think is made by Royal Canine. My question is this, I have always fed him Fromm Gold, both puppy and now adult fir small dogs. Is there a food I can feed that is possibly less grain or more helpful for soft/loose stool? Maybe I can try something besides the prescription food on my own? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I would get him on a probiotic bc all those antibiotics have probably stripped the natural flora in his intestines. I'd also suggest you try a grain-free food in case this is something due to digesting grains (which is much harder for dogs than humans, btw).

| I don't have a lot of experience, but we had to change our puppy's food a few times during last two months and also he had loose and smelly stools after 2 round of puppy's shots. We gave him FortiFlora probiotic - it's not cheap here, but it worked very well. I was mixing 1 sachet or 1/2 sachet per day for 7-10 days with dry food. |

| There is nothing wrong with prescription food especially since most of the time it fixes the problem and even saves lives. I would think at this point you would be willing to try anything. My oldest has been on prescription food for several years and all mine eat it and they are very healthy with shiny coats. Grains really are not the end of the world.
