Poor Riley. And poor you...I know that smell and it is not fun to come home too!

How are you switching his food? I are doing it slowly ( like 25/75; 50/50 then 75/25) or all at once? How long are you trying himon a food, before trying the next?

What our vet told us for Cincy's allergies, is that it can take 4-6 weeks for all the proteins and such to be removed from the body. If one of these foods has some thing he isallergic tothat is giving him digestive problems, it may take awhile to work its way out of his system.

I thinkI would do two things. Frist, since Chicken Soup is supposed to be a higher quality food then some of the other's I would give it a week or two and see if he improves. At the same time, I would talk to your vet and see if there are some tests you can have run to check his health. Dog's can get Colitis, as well as other parasites that may not be dected by a regular fecal check. When Sadie had a problem last year, the vet did a more through check. She was put on antibiotics and the diaherra cleared up in a day or two.

I have found alot of helpful info at www.peteducation.com Some things to search for may be colitis or inflammatory bowel disease...see if the some fo the symptoms match...maybe it will at least trigger some ideas to present to the vet.


Good lcuk! I'm sure Riley doesn't mean to go potty so much and I hope you can find something to help him!
