We are just finishing the transition from Iams to Blue Buffalo. It has been just near 2 weeks but for the past few nights, I've noticed our boy's tummy bigger. I wonder if we should be cutting his food back since the ingrediants are different? We were feeding 1 cup 3 times a day. I didn't know if it was bloat or fulliness. I thought of feeding him a 3/4 cup 3 times a day instead. I'm not sure. He is 5 and a half months now.
Also, not sure if ear irritation is a sign of allergys. He has been to the vet recently for it. His ears are clean but has irritation in one ear so we're giving him drops. Would changing food cause this? I chaulked it off as water getting in his ears while playing with the hose.
Any thoughts? I'm still learning about all this so any advice or imput would be appreciated.
I know everyone has different thoughts on their food choices. I just want to make sure he is healthy and has a long life. Our last pup (mixed rescue) died just before her 2nd birthday from all sorts of health issues.
Thanks!
