One of my pups is having problems with diarhea. Do you have any advice as to what I should do or look for in the future until they eat real food?
Full Question:
Hello,I found the formula for the puppy on your website and I have been giving it to my puppies as we had to give the mother back to the breeder and we were able to keep 2 pups. They are 3 weeks old now and I have noticed when they go to the bathroom the bowel movement are really soft and my girl's is almost diarrhea. I am not sure if there is a problem with the formula or if she is having a problem.
Do you have any advice as to what I should do or look for in the future until they eat real food?
Thanks in advance,
Geri
Cindy's Answer:
I would take a stool sample to the vet and have it checked for worms or coccidia. I would also make sure you are not overfeeding them, diarrhea can be a sign of overfeeding.
You should be able to start mixing food in with the formula within the next several days, if they do not have any intestinal parasites.
We have a section on feeding dogs that may be helpful to you as they are being weaned.
