afternoon diarreaha
Hi, I am new to this forum. I have a question about my dog. I have a seven year old Pembrooke Welsh Corgi named Denver, after my favorite all time singer, John Denver. Anyway, he has always been in good health. The last month or so he has had afternoon diarreaha. When we take him out in the morning his first bowel movement is fine, but when we take him out in the afternoon, his bowels turn watery, soft, and sometime mucous is present. I haven't taken him to the vet yet. We switched dog food about the same time from Old Roy weight management to Purina One. The Purina One did not agree with him at all. So we put him back on Old Roy, along with a tbsp. or so of canned pumpkin. He was better for about a week, but I stopped the pumpkin for about a week later, and he is back to the afternoon diarreaha. Does anyone have any ideas what could cause afternoon diarreaha only? The whole cycle, since the beginning of the diarreaha has been about one and one half months. Thanks, Nancy

Nancy:
My dog loved Old Roy and had it for a couple of years until she had such a bad itch that a vet told me to try veggie food and to avoid Old Roy - too much filler. I put her back on IAMS Lamb & Rice after trying 7 other kinds of dry and wet dog foods. I also noticed that she is more "mucosy" than she was while on "Old Roy". So I don't know but if you find out . . . please let me know. For what it's worth. . . . Jackie |

How quickly did you do the food switch? Some dogs need a slow mix in (even
up to a couple of bags) in order for their system to settle down. The back and forth jump may have thrown him for a loop. If you can, go for some ground turkey and rice (with some pumpkin) for a couple of days to settle his system down. Try to get him off the Ol' Roy - vets have a special name disorders in general from dogs on that stuff - it's called Ol' Roy Disease. "Nancyva" wrote in message ... Hi, I am new to this forum.
