Lola's Sick: An Update

  • AndrewA

    Thanks to everybody who gave us advice while Lola was not feeling well a couple of weeks ago. Since then…..
    Lola had diarrhea for about 2 weeks off & on. She would be really bad for a day or two, I'd fast her & then give her chicken & rice & then she would get better for a day or two. So I did some more research on the forum, searching old threads and became convinced it was her food, rather than a bug. Last Sunday I went & bought some Blue Buffalo chicken & wild rice puppy formula, and the improvement was instantaneous and amazing!!! We were feeding her Nutro, and after some on the forum mentioned it had caused digestion issues, I had decided to change it. I chose Blue Buffalo based on the advice of several forum members, and the change was literally immediate. She had been fasting for 24 hours, and I didn't want her to starve before I got her new food, so I gave her just a handful of her Nutro in the am. She had diarrhea within a couple of hours. We switched her cold turkey since I figured her stomach couldn't possibly get more upset than it already was. She got Blue Buffalo for dinner, and on her evening walk had a solid poop. Not a single problem since!
    Thanks again for helping us to get through this & solve it!

    Fantastic! I love this forum - it has gotten me thru many trials and tribulations. So glad you've researched and got results for Lola here. Folks on the forum are great for sharing tried and true methods.

    My dog had an adverse reaction to the Heartworm edible I gave her, do you possibly give one? if so is it maybe related to that? I had to switch brands and she still doesnt feel well for 1 to 2 days after I give it, but it is not as bad as the other brand. Her symptoms were changes in consistency and color and frequency of bowel movements, she didnt eat, and didnt want to be bothered. And she ate grass.

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.
