Hi, look for a good vet & ask test for S.I.B.O Small Bowel Intestine Overgrowth, or just ask vet for some Metronidazole tablets a 21-28 days course, that’s what I did. also ask vet does she need a B12 injection you give B12 weekly.. on this EPI Dogs F/B group they know the dose & what B12 you can buy for dogs, they also know about S.I.B.O

My vet writes me out a few scripts of Metronidazole to keep in the cupboard, so if Patches starts pooing sloppy yellow smelly poos, I start him on the Metronidazole for 10 days twice a day with food every 12 hours, I just take the script to chemist & buy & put him back on his Taste Of The Wild Sierra Mountain Roasted Lamb kibble…. but since starting the TOTW last March Patch has finally been doing really well, I don’t know if it’s cause TOTW uses purified water or its their probiotics in the kibble but the TOTW keeps his gut healthy & no more bacteria overgrowth, I rotate between a few kibbles but always feed the TOTW in Patches rotation, I have found Patch does heaps better when I change between a few kibbles he does well on, I started rotating kibbles so Patch doesn’t start reacting to just eating the same kibble, later on when you have found a couple of kibbles your dog does well on then rotate between them & change every 2-3 weeks before poos goo down hill again… I rotate between fish & lamb limited ingredient kibbles..
Sounds like food sensitivities & maybe bacteria in the bowel, I give Patch 1/2 of a “Yakult” it’s a pink probiotic drink for humans, you buy from the supermarket in fridge section, he has 1/2 & I drink the other 1/2…but you will need the Metronidazole first to kill the bacteria overgrowth in the bowel…also may be stress related & need a routine to feel safe & secure… How is she doing on the Hills light?? it has a lot of ingredients tooo many to know which one could be causing problems …..Hills is money back guaranteed so if she gets diarrhea return it say she wont eat it & look for a fish or lamb limited ingredient kibble…
