We have multiple dogs and they have been on a raw diet with wonderful results. Well here is the problem all my dogs that I have bought or rescued have been "cold turkey" switched to the raw diet with very little problems if any.
We resently bought our 2nd German Shorthair Pointer puppy and she is now 10 weeks old. We switched her like everyone else because the food that the breeder had her on was not doing her digestive system justice. We also found out after her first vet visit that she was heavily infested with coccidia. She went through her first round of treatment with Albon and was negative on her second fecal. Well on the second day off the meds she began having fire hose stool again so the vet put her back on the Albon for another 10 days. She has gained a pound and a half so I know not all of it is going through her. I have tried pumpkin and I am going to try the slippery elm bark liquid tomorrow that I read about on this site. I am the first person to say NO to antibiotics, but with the parasites I would rather be safe than sorry.
My question is how can I firm up the stools for my little girl? If the slippery elm doesn't work what next? Any advice?

Maybe feed some boiled white chicken breast and some overcooked white rice for a few days until her stools are back to normal and then gradually introduce the raw.

One thing at a time so you can see if any of the food you are feeding may be causing it.

Also, what are you feeding her as far as diet? What would be a "meal" for her?

She gets ground chicken/turkey twice a day. She gets about 8 to 12 ounces a day. I just wasn't sure if I should go to chicken and rice. But I will try that starting today. She has a good appetite so I am glad about that. Thank you for your ideas Carol I appreciate any advice that you give to me. I gave her the slippery elm bark this morning at around 5 am. She had fire hose stools again. So I am going to go boil some chicken for her and rice too now. Thank you again, I will let you know how she is doing.

Does your raw diet include bones (normally, when the puppy isn't sick)?

What does your dog's diet normally look like?

Hi Tammy,

did you say you did try the pumpkin and it didn't work?

Ditch the ground meats. Once the stools look good on the chicken and rice, start with a bone in chicken breast, skin & most fat removed. Trust me, she can handle the small soft bones in the breast no problem. And bone will really help to firm up her stools. My dogs do better with bone daily. Although she may be a little confused at first,she will get it in no time.

After about a week of good stools, start leaving more and more of the skin and fat on. If she tolerates that, you can add other chicken parts, buy whole and quarter it yourself. Don't add organs for a few weeks, or any new protein sources. And when you do, add just a tiny bit at first, and only increase it gradually, as her bowels tolerate it.

Good luck.

This is a super-inflamed gut, with the coccidia and then antibiotics.

I agree with the soupy (overcooked, cooked to mush) white rice with a little added white skinless breast of chicken after a 12-18-hour fast (but plenty of fluid while fasting, and in fact rice water would be good) to soothe that gut. Then add a little pumpkin after one half-meal, then if there is some improvement add a little plain no-sweetener live-culture yogurt, but stop and back up if there is a misstep.

Then I'd go the route Shody mentioned, once you have good poops.
