Yes, we are using a good probiotic. And i do know limited ingredient may be out best next step ifnthis is diet related. And i kind of think it is if he formed up while he was on the science diet r/d (high fiber weight management food). They use it for helping with diarrhea and we used it for 4 days and it seemed to really help. Once we started adding back in kibble is when it went south again. And we canāt stay on it because it is weight management and he was actually not gaining weight on it which is not good. Thatās why the vet hoped the I/d would work because itās very similar but has the right calories and nutrition for him to stay on it a while. But…itās chicken based…and lots of Newfs donāt handle chicken really well, so thatās a possible issue if he is not handling chicken well.
Someone else suggested going to chicken and rice for 4 days. If the stool forms up…itās food related. If it doesnāt…itās likely to be gut related. Who knows. I think my head spins so much with thoughts of things to try that I confuse myself! Lol.
