Can anyone tell me if they have had experience with lab pups who have on again/off again pudding-like poo? He has been checked for worms and parasite. We have not changed his food for well over a month. He'll have one good poo, then it will consistently get softer until it is close to diarrhea, but not quite. Despite this, he acts fine and is gaining weight and eating. Is this a common problem with lab pups (he's almost 6 months old) or with pups in general? Should I perhaps gradually change him over to adult food...maybe it's the high protein in the puppy food? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rae IP: Logged |

We have had a similar problem with our puppy-on and off again soft poop, not quite diarriah. I think what it is, at least this is what the vet tells us, is that she has coccidia (sp?) basically it means that all dogs have this bacteria present in their intestines that lies dormant...well, in dogs with coccidia, certain events (could be anything, a day away from her owners, being punished, an encounter with another dog that made him/her nervous), causes this bacteria to become active and cause the runny poop. Our vet has presribed Albon to Cameron twice, giving her about 1 1/2 pills a day for about 7 days or so, and this causes the bacteria to go dormant again. Like I said before, this bacteria can become active again at anytime, but the albon seems to reduce that occurance, and we haven't had an episode of soft stools with Cameron in the 4 months or so since her last Albon treatment. I'm not sure if this is the case with your dog, but it's worth asking the vet about  IP: Logged |
