[nagdu] Soft Stool

[Elizabeth Rene]

Your vet can prescribe a special canned or dry dog food called Intestinal 
Diet as part of his recovery regime.  It's also good to have some ID in the 
house to give one's dog after a short fast following diarrhea when there's 
no time to cook up special meals, or when you're traveling or feeding at 
work.

I agree with everyone else in that it's time to go to the vet.

I'm currently partnered with my seventh dog, and believe that a solid 
relationship with one's vet can be invaluable to person and dog.  As your 
vet gets to know you and your dog, sick and well, he or she can monitor your 
dog's health over time and educate you about how to recognize and address 
minor problems and prevent major ones, how to recognize and meet your dog's 
different needs as he ages, how to manage his weight, and how to choose the 
best foods for him.

My first guide had a lot of diarrhea during his first year out of school, 
and this didn't clear up until I realized that the food recommended by the 
school had too much protein in it for him.  That's what I was told by my 
vet.

Whether the food had the wrong protein/fat/carbohydrate ratio, or whether it 
was just poor quality food, I'm not really sure.  The school wasn't any help 
about this at all, and my dog had done well on their chosen food in class. 
But my vet alerted me to the impact of my dog's diet on his digestive 
problems, and the change in diet improved his health dramatically.

Best wishes to you and your dog, and I hope that he feels better soon.
