Eileen Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I am not sure if I should have started a new thread or not, but I couldn't work out how to edit the title of the old one, so I have included the old one as a link http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...;hl=poo+factory Ok so now my pup will be 6 months tomorrow. We changed her diet to Royal Canin puppy medium breed, and cut out all the raw food cos she went a bit down at pasterns a while ago, and my DOL sources tell me that is a way to fix it. Now she loves Royal Canin, it has made it so much easier to train her, cos she will sit and stay for up to a minute before I say it is ok for her to eat, hooray! And the poos eased up at first, but then they increased in frequency again over the last month or so – and now she is definitely back up to the 4-5 poo a day range – they look fine, well, as fine as poo ever looks. Is this bad for her health? She looks healthy, she is not thin, but everyone thinks she is much younger than she is, so I wonder if she is not absorbing enough nutrients?

Poodle wrangler Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'm unclear about exactly what "down on pasterns" means . Anyone got a pic? I added some pet mince and bones to our pups diet (no fibre there) to reduce a loose poo issue, but that might be conterproductive, given your previous problem . Might be a case of the least bad option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also instead of walking on her tippy toes she looked more like she was leaning on her joints. She doesn't have loose poos, just lots of poos. But maybe I could reintroduce bones into her diet? Thanks PW for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
