I recently switched Visa's food, and she's having diahrrea. The switch went well for the first day, so I'm surprised because it's never been this bad. She has digested blood in her stool as well (gives the stool a black, tarry appearance). The vet just says to give it time, but Visa has a very fast metabolism and she can't afford to be lose this much nutrition.
I've been increasing her intake of pumpkin (great for firming stool) which has always worked for her in the past, but it is working only minimally -- it's half firm, half diahrrea right now. I am also giving her digestive enzymes which also help, but I am still hoping for more ideas.
Belgians have ridiculously sensitive stomachs, it's too bad. I can't wait till I get a freezer and we can finally just go on RAW full time and avoid all of this!
