We got our Portuguese Water Dog puppy about 7 weeks ago. She’s 6 months old this week. She had loose stools from the very first day. She’s had blood tests and stool tests, and the only thing that comes up is Giardia in the antigen test. She’s been treated for this.
She seems unable to cope with any dog food besides chappie. She came on Royal Canin. We have tried introducing VERY slowly:
A few James Wellbeloved kibbles = Diarrhea
Home cooked white fish and sweet potato= Diarrhea
Burns puppy food= Diarrhea
Arden Grange sensitive = Diarrhea
A few high- end kibbles at the groomer = Diarrhea
Raw= Great for first week then Diarrhea
When I say we introduce gradually, I literally mean one teeny little kibble the first day as a treat, etc.
She’s so much better on Chappie. However, she’s underweight. She’s only 12 kilos when she should be at least 15. We are giving her 2 tins of Chappie a day.
I’m thinking of trying Barking Heads, but it’s probably just another dog food that she can’t tolerate.
Is there anything nutritious that I can add to the Chappie to help her to gain weight?
