saxonmaster 74 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 She is 7 month old wormed to date and I have tried afew different complete dried food but she still has the shits my other dogs are fine just wondering if anybody has any info thanks i wouldnt feed anything for at least 24 hours but leave water then very small amounts of boiled chicken with rice or pasta 4 very small meals throughout the next 24 hours and see if that helps but if it was me get to the vets if you are concerned about its weight or lossing fluids or lossing blood. what you feeding her mate 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 It's about 21% but I'm going to lower it today Atb 21% protein for a 7 month old lurcher puppy doesn't seem to me like it would be too much! Probably the opposite. I feed mines Gain 28, which is, as it says, 28% protein which seems more appropriate for a fast growing lurcher puppy. I certainly wouldn't be lovering the protein conten of its diet at this stage of its life. Add some chicken/rice or better still take it to the vet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MikeTheDog 153 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I wouldn't feed any bones to the pup while it has the shits, it'll only make thing worse. I would feed chicken and rice with some live yoghurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scalesntails 118 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I used to have a labrador that had the shits constantly no matter what I fed him. Changed him to a raw diet and problem solved. I assumed it must have been something like wheat which they put in most dry food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assumed it must have been something like wheat which they put in most dry food. Yeah - that figures? Lots of folk have wheat intolerances so why not dogs? Not meant to eat wheat anyway eh? When I was a boy the majority of shepherds I worked with fed their collies flaked maize soaked in water or milk if the house cow had a surplus. Yeah, that's right flaked maize!!!! And if the dogs were lucky house scraps - and there wouldn't be many leftovers either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Have you tried skinners duck and rice thats gluten and free from all the allergens dogs usually have problems with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeTheDog 153 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) As said, wheat can be a problem for some dogs and also flaked maize as it can cause skin problems. A dog would never eat maize or wheat in a wild pack so why the feck do some people feed it to their dogs! Edited May 18, 2011 by MikeTheDog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
