Thanks very much Hound Dog Mom – love your picture, we also have a blood hound/coon hound mix đ
The pumpkin sounds like a great idea. I have tried him on a Fortiflora which helped a little, he’s been on metronidazole which did help with the stool but I don’t want to leave him on that in case there are long term issues.
I think I have to be careful with adding fat to a SBS dog, and this is the food the vet had suggested. Even feeding more smaller meals per day I can’t seem to get his total amount increased without the loose stool.
I am trying a pancreatic enzyme now, but its given him quite bad diarrhea so will stop on that. He is feeling a bit perkier due to his weekly B12 shots.
Was hoping there were other owners with this problem who may have found some magic bullet of calorie intake and normal stool. Maybe too much to hope for!
