hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum, so I really appreciate any advise you all can offer. I got my 1st dog, a Cavalier puppy from a reputable show-dog breeder in my area. He was 16 weeks old at the time and was fed adult Eukanuba formula. He looked skinny when I got him. He is now 6 months old and he has diarrhea on and off - all the time. I long ago quit the Eukanuba and tried different holistic dry foods (with no results) and finally switched to the home-made diet of 1 protein (chicken or beef), 1 carb and veggies. For no apparent reason at all, Charlie would break in very loose and frequent stools. I blame it on him picking up stuff off the grass sometimes, but other times I really cannot see anything that would cause it. I've tried raw diet too, with the same results: he would have good firm poops and all of a suddent they will become loose. The Vets I took him to do not know what to think, they put him on antibiotics after ruling out the parasites. Oh, he did have Giardia one time but that was cured, while the cronic diarreah is still there. I give him enzimes and probiotics, I read books on nutrition, I'm doing everything I can... but I'm SO frustrated. Any suggestions?
Many thanks
