Hi Cori R sounds like Colitis, when I first rescued my boy he was pooing sloppy poos with jelly on them or diarrhea with blood, vet said Colitis & he was put on Metronidazole (Flagyl) for 2-3 weeks & Royal Canine Hypoallergenic kibble BUT the fat was toooo high in the R/C HP & Patch then got Pancreatitis…..
I would try another protein like InkedMarie said, Kangaroo is very low in fat, start again, just 1 protein & 1 new veggie then start adding 1 new ingredient…… I wouldn’t stay on the same protein everyday, after you try 1 protein & its OK, then stop feeding that protein & try another new protein, then feed a different protein every 2nd or 3rd day, this way he doesn’t start reacting to the same protein that he keeps getting everyday……
About 2-3 years ago my boy couldn’t eat chicken, turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, now he can eat potato, sweet potato & chicken…..another thing Patches vet gave me a few repeats of the Metronidazole & as soon as I started to see Patches poos becoming sloppy or when I start introducing a new kibble, I had to give Patch 1 Metronidazole tablet a day for 2 weeks… Patch was put on a vet diet for 6-9months & just ate the vet diet, maybe that help fix his bowel & stomach or the Metronidazole fixed his bowel something helped cause he can eat anything now as long as it low in fat & I’ve tried it in his elimination diet….maybe your boy just cant break down proteins & needs a vet diet that is hypoallergenic & the protein has been broken down for him, I’m not one for vet diets but sometimes you need to use them just for 6months, Patch was put on the Eukanuba Intestinal Low Residue kibble to let his stomach & bowel have a rest…..
