Stools that is. (Can't believe I'm talking about this!) My 10 week old Rott pup has gotten the drizzlies the past few days. He's meesed up in the house and in his crate overnight. He gets chicken necks or backs, carrots, celery, cottage cheese, egg, Mega Omega 3, kelp/alfalfa, Vitamin C all following the article on Ed's site. All suggestions appreciated.

You may want to take a stool sample to your vet just in case, but to firm up poo you can either add more bones, below ground veggies, or canned pumpkin to the diet.
For future reference canned pumpkin works both ways... softens hard stools and firms up loose ones.... PLAIN canned pumpkin, not the pie mix. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
My dog began to have occassional loose stools when I started feeding my pup Inova. Its funny....sometimes its normal but other times its really soft and runny. Yesterday in the morning his stools were firm.....i gave him a few raw eggs and a raw knuckle bone during the day and by nite his stools were loose. I guess it could be from his system not being used to the raw bone or egg since he eats it occasionally?
Also he still occassionally eats/licks his own stools. There were times I got home from work and was unable to find any feces in the yard or I would find some that looks like licked. Just wondering if ingesting its own feces can cause runny stools.
Too much Vit C can also give loose stools. Not knowing how much you give, cut down the amount and watch for 'bowel tolerance'. I personally use approximently 1/2 tsp.
It's not loose every time. I think it may be from sneaking kibble outside (not my dog's) during trips outside during the day. I give 1/2 tsp. of vitamin C at each meal, but again he's not always loose.

Yep, kibble sneaking may be playing a role in the inconsistent stools. Another factor may be the amount of fat in the meat. Chicken backs can be quite fatty, remove some of the fat (the skin is okay) and keep up the observations.
Also do what Deanna suggests, get a stool sample tested, pups need to be monitored for worms often.
