We slowed down Charlie's food transition as he was having a little bit softer stools again - still formed, just softer. Even with slowing the transition there was no change and he's have one soft serve poop a day. Not diarrhea, just soft. We called our new vet and they suggested changing his feeding from 3 times a day to 2 times a day (same amount just spread out mor time-wise) - their thinking being that his food needed more time to digest. We are now feeding him every 12 hours and his stools are perfect!!! We've been able to go a little further with his transition from Purina EN to California Naturals Lamb & Rice and hope to be fully on the California naturals in the next few weeks! Yay Charlie! He's up to 43lbs. now (at 5 1/2 months old)

Once Vinnie got fully transitioned to his good food from the crappy food he was on, his poops were perfect and less frequent. Now at 7 1/2 months he's consistent with 2 poops a day.

I'm glad Charlie is doing better. Digestive problems can be so frustrating and hard to figure out.

Look at Charlie, looking so grown up....he is beautiful! Glad he is doing better!

A little looser the last day or so, but we gave him his 2nd Drontal (vet said a month apart) & they loosened up a bit after that. Continuing with Fortaflora till they firm back up. I'm sure it's the Drontal as they were perfect till then!
