?Food sensitivity - beef

[edzbird]

I think I've got to the bottom - so to speak - of Meg(an) Sparkle's loose poo! There was no dog training last week so she didn't get her usual training treats for over 2 weeks - roast beef and beef & pork-derived sausages, she's mainly had fishy treats (she did have a couple of tiny scraps of beef when preparing person-meals), and her poos became normal. Now we're back training, she's back on the beef, and lo! I just picked up a HUGE poo, topped with a massive dollop of mousse and I am 95% certain it's not Coco's.

Please, please let this be it. I've ordered some fishy sausages from Fish4. Time to make some more sardine pyramid treats.

That sounds like good news. Fred can't eat any of the doggie treats you buy in the shops, they give him the poos. That is why I always make our own treats.

Maslow isn’t allowed to eat anything ever again according to OH

Not sure whether I feel sorrier for Mas or OH

Oh, I do hope you're right for your and Meg's sake - fingers 'firmly' crossed.

I just wish I could find the trigger for Molly's allergies.

Beef is a very common cause of sensitivities in dogs, so you could be on to something. Fingers crossed you’re right

 

[edzbird]

I was in the verge of attempting a kibble swap....I'm holding off for now.

 

[Atemas]

Ooh that’s good - hope you are right - then problem solved

 

[Joy]

Let's hope it's the beef as that's easily avoided.

 

[edzbird]

Agghh!! Up four times in the night, and this morning I pick up huge loose poo piles. Then a liquid one on our walk. I am now studying all food items ingredient lists, even though I don't know for sure beef is the culprit.

 

[Lab_adore]

Oh no....good luck finding what is causing it @edzbird

 

[Atemas]

Oh no that’s not good

When Rory squirtiness was at it worst Mags recommend pro fibre it really helped slow his gut down and get things more solid. If you haven't maybe you'd like to give it a go?

 

[Beanwood]

Pro fibre is great stuff! We are pretty sure Casper is sensitive to beef, we only found out when we increased his raw intake...he got itchy skin, looser poos. When we realised there was beef in the completes we swapped. It did take a while for things to settle down though.

 

[SwampDonkey]

It does take awhile slowly but surely I had to build up what I could feed Rory. He has a good diet now with lots of interesting things I just have to avoid chicken and fatty things. So no cheese venison crunchies and he's fine. I use Millie's wolfheart low fat tracker mix which suits him and he looks well on it.

 

[Beanwood]

MW low fat formulations really help in keeping them trim

 

[edzbird]

I've given her Logic Firm which is supposed to firm her up, I've used it previously.

 

[SwampDonkey]

The pro fibre is given everyday. It's in pellet form.I'd tried The logic firm type things but they were not so good. I've also used things like yudigest and yudigest plus they were good too, but pro fibre was the game changer for Rory

Hope you discover what food it is Sue. Charlie can't even smell anything with lamb in it as he gets the runs. Hattie has cast iron guts even eating rotten animals regularly!! xx

Homer gets an upset tummy when he’s had chicken kibble. Small amounts of fresh chicken he’s ok with. I tried turkey kibble too but that has the same effect as chicken.

Burns pork and potato sensitive kibble is the best for Homer. Our dog walker suggested Burns kibble years ago when H was having regular tummy trouble and although I try different brands from time to time we always end up back with Burns as it’s best for his tummy.
