sabertooth Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi, i noticed this morning that my pup has started doing green poos, i have been changing her kibble over from supercoat to royal canin puppy giant, could this be the reason and if so does anyone think that it is the change of diet and will go back to normal or should i try another kibble? any suggestions would be great. sabertooth.

squeak Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Too me green poo isn't normal - I would think it might possibly mean infection. If it was my pup, I would at least be phoning the vet for advice... but knowing me, I'd probably just see the vet to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockerlover Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Green poo is not normal ! check with vet to be on safe side & DO NOT keep changing diet ,this will definatley cause upset tummy. Yr breeder should have given you these instructions & a feed chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockerlover Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi again ,go back to super coat, if you change any diet ,do it gradually like 2third 1third if u follow me in this case i would return to super coat<& stick with it gradually introducing other foods, such as a little mince or vegies,but reducing the amout of kibble acordingly . try giving yr pup a dessert sp of yogurt with aphidoficus in it ,mixed with her kibble for a few days to firm up (if poos r runny ) & settle the tummy .good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabrador Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I wouldn't think that greenish poo is a problem as long as it's not runny. Dogs fed on bones frequently do light green poo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Has she had one of those "Greenies" toothbrush-shaped treat things? You can get them at the vets. Never given them to my own dogs but have heard from several people that they result in green poos. Just a thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kermet Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Green poo is often a sign of dehydration. Make sure you soke the kibble as dry kibble can absorb moisture. You may have heard of people having big nites and there poo being green, this is due to the dehydration caused by alchohol consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be honest, if her poos go back to normal, I would think the Greenie treat would have been the culprit If not, by all means get her to a vet if you're still concerned.
