Hello everyone.
Our lovely little border terrier boy is 24 weeks old tomorrow. He is a sweet natured little guy, fun loving and so friendly. However, he is prone to bouts of diarrhoea. Generally this will only be one movement and for the most part his stools are ok, not great but ok. We're very strict about not giving him human food and we haven't seen him actually eat anything he shouldn't although he absolutely loves drinking water out of muddy puddles.
He was on James wellbeloved but we couldn't find the pouches so decided to try the wainwright puppy trays which are so highly recommended on allaboutddogfood. Cue diarrhoea, and not just one movement but every movement. He even went in his crate at night which he has never done before. Vets not overly concerned as he is still very lively, still eating and drinking fine. Advised home made chicken and rice which we have started this morning.
I know in all likelihood he will be right as rain soon but I hate to think of him suffering and I've now convinced myself he has colitis (probably from a mixture of googling and pregnancy hormones). We really want to get him onto a good food that will not cause him any problems before May when I will hopefully be on maternity leave, both for his sake and so we can bulk buy because money will be tight.
I guess what I'm asking is has anyone else had these problems with their puppy and how did you find the right food for them.
Thank you, sorry this is so long.
