Dogs with the shits

[berty1 8]

I have 3 lurchers/longdogs. 2 bitches and 1 dog.

1 bitch (12mths) and the dog (11mths)has the shits, not all the time but most times it comes out like runny mustard. The older bitch (15mths) runs and plays with them every day, but she has solid shit although mustard in colour.

They have been on the same dry food 6mths+, but its only been the last month that 2 have had the shits.

Any ideas/advice would be good.

I am thinking of changing the food to Autarky adult Dryfood 22% protein, which is wheat free.

Anyone use it or hear of it?

Thanks in advance

worms perhaps ? when the last time they were done ?. if not the protein in your old food may be a little high or to oily for them mate . a change may be needed or not some of the other chaps on here may offer some more ideas to what it could be .atb willum

You might be right about the too Oily/high protein food. I will try some different food, then go from there.

I worm them orally with ivomec every 12-14 weeks.

Thanks willum.

Change over the the diet slowly otherwise the dogs will still scour....

 

try a little natural yougert if you can get it into them should line the stomach and harden the facies a little...

 

Snap.

i had this problem, google dorwest tree bark powder, worked for my dog who had never had a solid shit

you could also try some electrolytes in the water whilst you change the food.this will replace lost salts and stop dehydration
