Please help

my 14 week german sheperd has the runs badly she has never really had hard stools since i got her but they seem to be getting worse i feed her on dry dog food and have never changed it can any one suggest anything

Have you taken her to the vets?

yea they reccomended i starved her for 24 hours then they said to start her on small portions of chicken and rice but neither has worked i have a new appointment for end of week but its cost me £80 for them just to tell me what i already no so far

What are you feeding her? Has she been on this at the breeders? When did you get her? Has the vet tested stool samples for campylobacter, giardia, salmonella etc?

Has she been wormed?

he was feeding her anything he liked so when a took her to vets for her first check up they said to put her straight on dried puppy food wich i decided to try james wellbeloved and yea she is up to date with her worming and as for the tests a think that is the plan for next trip to the vets

I am not sure if you have a First Aid Box yet but I would put in some of the following immediately

Electrolytes eg Lectade, you can get those at the vet
Slippery Elm Food/Tree Bark Powder from eg Dorwest Herbs
Yumpro from lintbells - probiotics
Manuka Honey

You then have the tools with which to deal with the squits.

Generally speakin, IME, the most common causes of dire rear in puppies are:

over feeding
and change of water

outwith specific diseases

Good luck

thankyou for the advise

Mine had diarrhea as well, changed the water and they were fine... problem where we are though is that we have agricultural water and not really fit for drinking.. as they got older slowly changed them to it and they are fine now.. also changed their food and the food they have been getting since is perfect.. hardly any runs at all.. don't think you can get the food where you are though as it is a Spanish make called satisfaction... even the vet had not heard of it but after reading up about it, thought it was excellent and now stocks it as well....
