Hey everyone, we are getting very frustrated over here and need some advice/encouragement. Emery has had stomach issues since day one.
We didn’t have a lot of the food that the breeder was feeding her previously, so we werent able to ween her off of it as slowly. leading to diarrhea. The vet put her on a “puppy pepto” and it cleared up.
Then her stool was super soft again, found out she had worms. Had her treated for those and it seemed to clear up.
She had a few bouts of diarrhea after that, with no change in her diet. More stoool sample testing (all negative) & More puppy diarrhea meds.
In the last month she’s been switched over to a large kibble, same exact type of food though... brought her a case of soft stool/diarrhea. Vet gave her antibiotics for possible gastroenteritis, and more diarrhea medication... which we ran out of about 2-3 days ago and her stool is back to being really soft and having a noticeable amount of mucous in it, no blood.
Are some Golden’s just prone to stomach issues as pups that they need to grow out of? Are we doing something wrong? Should we be concerned this is a bigger issue?
My wife was only gone from the house for a couple of hours, came back and she had pooped on the floor in her pen...(she never has accidents in the house), she took her out, cleaned her and the pen, fed her, took her potty outside and left for anouther hour or two and came back to find another soft pile of poop in her pen again... so frustrating.
We will be calling the vet in the AM to try to figure this out again... I just wish we could find something to help this poor puppy out.
