Hi! I haven't posted in a while...After going through some hollistic foods (C. Natural, Fromm, Wellness) and still dealing with loose stools with my English Bulldog after gettting a clean bill of health from vet, I finally threw in the towel and went for a commercial brand. I actually had good results from Purina One Lamb and Rice and thought we were finally in the clear. But now after 3 months on that we're back to diarrea/very loose stools so I'm wondering if I need to consider looking into a new food. None of the natural remedies (pumpkin, sweet potato, yogurt have ever worked and I'm extra careful about not giving a lot of different treats and have said adios to bully sticks and people food). Today my dog even passed some blood in his diarrea, which has never happened before but he's otherwise healthy and active with a good appetite.
I have him on a bland diet right now and am giving him DiaBac for dogs to control his diarrhea episodes. Looking ahead once his system is back on track, I'm researching the Blue Buffalo Basic line (either Salmon or Turkey) and I've also heard good things about Purina One Sensitive Systems formula. Has anyone had any luck with either of those two or recommend another limited ingredient formula designed for sensitive tummies?
My worry is that my 7 month old dog may have IBS...but I'm hesitant to going the prescription dog food route unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks!
