more poop ?

Me again with poor charlie poop machine.
So.. he took his last metronidazole pill today.. vet said that should clear up any problems..
Well since he has been on it, his soft poops went to runny amot diareaha.. ..
Still playing fine eating well etc.
I make sure he gets lots of water..
So I am thinking to monitor for a week.. to see if it could have been the pills that turned his soft poop to runny mess.

He is on the natural balance food.. some one told me it might be not bland enough for him..that maybe I should put him on a lamb and rice formula??


I am at my wits end..

I tried the rice and lean ground beef.. he loved it but it didn't help
I use the yogurt...

sigh

It is the acidopholus that it is made with that helps the digest

puts back the good live bacteria that is necessary for food to digest properly. IMHO the capsules of acidopholus(must be kept in the refrigerator) that you can get at a health food store work better as they are pure good bacteria.

I would stay away from the activa yogart- isn't that to help with constipation?

which NB food?? The duck & sweet potatoe was a

little rich for some of my guys and switched them to NB SP & Venison and they did fine. They also have a new SP & Chicken that might work. I'd go with venison first if I was to change tho. Some bulldogs have issues with chicken.

I am going to get another fecal check on him..
The vet wants to put him on the medical fiber food.. and its not great..
They are not happy that I refuse to put him on that food.

what works for my dogs..

Metronidazole shouldn't make it worse, but it may not clear up the problem if you don't give him a bland diet along with it.

If I'm giving that antibiotic I always feed Hill's Prescription CANNED i/d. (Not the dry) for a week or two. It is easily digested which gives the meds a chance to heal the irritable bowel.

What did your vet want you to feed him?

Go to a health food store and get live culture acidopholus and g

him 1 capsule at each meal. It contains the good bacteria needed for proper digestion, especially if a dog has been on antibiotics for any reason. This must be kept in a refrigerator do not get the kind that is just on the shelf. Acidopholus is what yogurt is made with but much more concentrated and also if the yogurt you are giving him does not say live culture then it is useless.
