Re: Holly
Jazzi, I am pleased to hear that the blood test and x-ray were clear, but it sounds like Holly may have a few tummy problems, so ask what could be causing them.She may be sensitive to some foods and the new diet will work, but you need to be reassured by the vet that it is nothing worse that a sensitive tummy.
I don't want you or Holly to suffer again, so ask what you should do if the new food doesn't deal with her problem.....after all the vet is being paid to advise you and make Holly better so you don't want her to suffer unnecessarily.
I hope you both have a more comfortable night and Holly gets better!
that is good news, from your description of Holly's tummy content yesterday I suspected a foreign body,puppies are always swallowing things they shouldn't .

That's similar to my friend who had a beautiful GSD pup but he always had the runs, and was not gaining weight and growing at all for such a potentially a big dog.
It was some weeks later they found he was intolerant of most dry most dry foods, and any processed meats.
Once she found out what the problem was it could be sorted.
In his case, he could only have a raw diet, and quickly gained weight and grew into a very handsome dog.

Re: Holly
I wish Ranger had stomach problems or was at least a little more particular about what he eats. In the last week he has eaten another leash down to the metal clasp, an entire shoe, an entire remote control, a wash cloth, a sock, an empty plastic yogurt container, a necktie and dirt.Seriously though, Jazzi, I know it must be a relief. I hope you can come up with a diet that works. Poor baby!
