Hi Corinne, was your dog tested for S.I.B.O Small Intestinal Bacteria Over Growth ? with S.I.B.O their poos have a rotten smell, its awful, they have wind/gas, vomiting, they are normally put on Metronidazole (Flagyl) for 21-28 days & feed the Royal Canine Gastrointestinal Low Fat diet.. after taking the Metronidazole, if symptoms come back again then they are normally put on Tylan Powder, the Tylan powder is made up in empty capsules cause it taste awful & some dogs are turned off their meals cause of bad taste, 1 capsule of Tylan Powder is put in 1 meal once a day… poos firm up pretty much as soon as you start using it…. you could get Tylan Powder over the counter last year in America but now I think you need a script from vet…
My boy has IBD he has had Pancreatitis & S.I.B.O, out of all the vet diets he did really well on the Royal Canine Gastrointestinal Low Fat wet & kibble, the Royal Canine Gastrointestinal Low Fat breaks down real easy, so its easier to digest, if you just feed the Royal Canine for 6 months & let stomach & bowel heal & rest then start looking for another limited ingredient food & slowly introduce new food over 3 weeks, I feed a Fish & Rice kibble now, I’m finding my boy does real well stomach & skin wise on fish based kibbles….. when your girl is stable, I would be cooking meals, if you can, kibble is very hard to digest, now what I do is I feed cooked meal for breakfast & kibble for lunch & dinner or sometimes the cooked for dinner as well, its better to feed 3-4 smaller meals thru the day…..
When I buy a new kibble or I try & get samples, I soak a couple of the kibbles in a glass of warm water & I see how long does the kibble take to become soft, the Royal Canine Gastro Low Fat only takes about 40 mins & its soft, so I know its not hard to digest…. I hope your baby gets well again…
