Rollo (golden retriever puppy aged 12 weeks) has had two lots of diarrhoea in the last 2 days, with the latest being the worst. Inbetween times, he's had normal poos.
I ran out of the breeder's food - Royal Canin Golden Retriever 29 Junior Professional - and managed at the v v last moment to get hold of what I thought was the same food - except I've now noticed on the massive bag that it doesn't say Professional - although it's still Golden Retriever 29 Junior.
Does anyone know if these 2 products are v diffreent and this might explain his 'runs' which has only begun since the new bag of food was started?
Should I be rushing to the vets (not open today I don't think) or see how it goes?
Should I keep feeding him normally or reduce his food amount or give him something else?
Could it be that he's simply coming across new viruses as he goes out and about now?
Could he have eaten something nasty in our garden (he tends to nibble moss, grass and mud and leaves, if I don't manage to extract them from his mouth in time)?
Could it be connected to the fact that one of our cats has diarrhoea and soem sickness (though the vet thinks this is because of hyeprsensitive stomach - not a virus)? But the pup and cats don't yet mix much....
Of course he's getting plenty of water to drink - and he's behaving normally otherwise - ie gorgeous, massively growing bundle of creamy/ sandy fur who adores meeting new people in the park and occasionally, when he's in the right mood, does exactly what I tell him to do! - otherwise happily ignores me, then rushes towards me and thrusts his entire warm furry body into my lap, despite now being too big, and turns over for a tummy tickle, with a doggy smile on his face!
