Charlie doesn't seem well again
Things were going fine after his treatment from the vets, we took him off the prescription food and started him on his regular food which is Nature's Menu Pouches (wet food) but as he has probs with his anal glands (needing emptying almost every week) :yikes I started to add some Royal Canin dried to try to firm up his poops (he won't eat dried food on it's own :roll: .
A couple of days after his glands were emptied he started bum shuffling again, I don't think it's worms as he's up to date with his worming, but the day before yesterday he started leaving his food well not finishing it all and he always eats everything!, Yesterday this carried on but he started leaving more each time and today he refused his brekkie and his tummy was making those horrible gurgly sounds just like before when he was ill, i've noticed he's been drinking more than usual too.
When I came in today he'd pooed and it was like mucus again :yuk:
Do you think he's just got a really sensitive tummy and that he'll have to stay on the prescription food forever? I don't really want him to as it's Hill's Science Plan and i've heard that it's not really a good food?
Not a week goes by when there's not something wrong with him
I'm really getting to the end of my tether and I feel like he's never going to be a happy/healthy dog.
Sorry to go on but I just don't know what to do anymore
Thanks everyone
