I have a question.

My basset hound, Fred is 10mths old. I can't find the right food for him. As a small puppy, he started on Purina Puppy chow until the vet told me to take him off of it. I switched him to IAMS Smart puppy. He was eating that until the food recall, because I got a hold to a bad batch of IAMS. I switched him AGAIN to Kibbles and Bits. He ate it for a while, but it started to make him itch. Now, he is on Nutro - Natural Choice small puppy bites for sensitive stomachs and now, he has light-green soft-to-loose stools.

PLEASE HELP!

You might want to post this as a new topic on the forum or in the health area. My only comment is that my 10 month old basset also had loose green stool and she had a bug (I forget the name) that could be quite harmful. Switching food can cause it to become worse - I would get a stool test done.[/b]

I called the vet and scheduled a stool test. Thanks!

I feed nutro lamb and rice to my girls. They seem to do well on it. It's hard getting really good foods in central Iowa.[/b]

Its so hard to find food for Fred. He is a finiky eater. I talked to his breeder and she said that his father and mother both are finiky eaters. I give him 15 to 20 minutes to eat. He will sometimes eat up his entire bowl, and sometimes he may eat less than half. I still give him servings according to the chart on this dogfood.

awww I've been hijacked. But in all concern for your baby, definitely take him to the vet! [/b]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I was so worried that as soon as I logged on, I posted in the first thread that came up. I do apologize.
