I got my puppy, a goldendoodle, when he was at 8 weeks.
1. As the breeder advised, I gave my pup Natural Balanc. He got pudding like poop. (Also, pooed about 10-12 times a day)
2. So I worried, and tested his stools for Coccidia – Vet didn’t find any Coccidia.
3. Then I switched to chicken & rice diet – so puppy’s poop became better.(And pooped only 3-4 times a day)
4. Then my vet said Chicken&rice doesn’t have much nutrition, so she asked me to feed him “IAMS Low-Residue” and switch to another good food slowly (over a 7 days of period).
(Vet gave some medications too)
5. So, I started IAMS Low-Residue (His poop became bit softer)
6. I slowly added 1Tbs of Origen puppy large breed formula each day. Increased gradually.
7. Now he is on 1/2 IAMS Low-Residue and 1/2 Origen – (His poop are pudding-like again, and poop about 10-8 times a day.
Can this be some kind of a parasite problem? He seems to have a hard time digesting protein diet. But since he is in his growing age, I don’t like to give him a low nutritional diet with a lot of corn.
As the puppuy’s diarrhea gets bad, he gets bit lethargic too.
I lived in an apartment in the city. The puppy is only 10 weeks. Since he hasn’t completed his vaccination, I cannot really take him outside to poo. (Just talk him the small patio and play with him in the living room.) Because of this constant diarrhea issue, he poop all over my small apartment. (House training didn’t work well with his 10 times a day poop pattern, so I thought I will wait to train him until he gets over with his diarrhea, but it’s 2 weeks and no improvement.
Everytime I contacted my vet, I get some medications (1. some Purina powder, and then Metronidazole 250mg)
Please help!
