I recently got a second IG, I brought her home with a ziploc bag of the breeders food (Royal Canin) and over a week transitioned her to Orijen puppy formula. Two days after I got her home, I took her to the vet for a check up and she had hook worms and whipworms. She had diarrhea upon arrival home. Treated her with Panacur for 4 days. She continued with very soft poo for another week and a half. So, I put her on boiled chicken, rice and pumpkin. Her poo is solid now. My vet did another fecal today and said he didn't see anything.
So, I think she is allergic to something in the Orijen. I had this problem with my first IG, he was allergic to something in Innova and it made him have diarrhea, as soon as I switched him to Canidae it cleared up.
The question is, finally, how do you pinpoint what they are allergic to? I will switch her to another food, but I would like to know what it is that is causing the diarrhea?
I was thinking about Merrick Puppy Plate?
Does anyone have any wisdom they can share?
Thanks!
