Some possibilities for diarrhea:

  • Regardless of which food any abrupt food change can cause diarrhea, all food changes should be done gradually over a week, mixing in the old food and gradually switching to the new food.

    An intestinal parasite called coccidia can cause diarrhea. It can be picked up from drinking funky water (water in ditches, ponds, swamps etc) and can be passed from dog to dog in kennels.

    Other types of worms can also cause similar symptoms.

    Animals getting certain treats or greasy/spicy people food can experience similar symptoms.



My first thought would be to take a fecal (poop) sample to your vet and check for parasites. Other than that try feeding a light bland diet of boiled rice and white chicken meat (no skin or fat) for a day or two then gradually try the Solid Gold again. If the diarrhea doesn't clear up and no intestinal worms/parasites are found, a visit to your vet is in order.

Good luck
