Sudden diarrhea

[AthenaClimbs]

We switched our girl to Orijen LPB about a month ago. Before that she was eating Nutro LPB. Once we switched to Orijen, her stooled hardened up. Now these past two days, she's been having diarrhea. Do you think it's Orijen, even though, it's been a while? We made the food change gradual over a course of three weeks or so. Sometimes we add lactose-free low fat cottage cheese to her meal.

Anyone have this problem?

Yes, but it's always related to something he ate, or when he had kennel cough. Also, when he drinks out of yucky places, sometimes too. I doubt it's the actual dog food if she's been on it for a month.

Today Rocket ate some tall grassy weeds for some reason, and then later they came out in runny, runny poop.

Do you usually give him anything or just let it pass on it's own?

If mine get diarrhea for no reason I can see, I generally skip a meal or two, then do a meal of 75% cooked white rice and 25% of their kibble. Then half and half for another meal or two before switching back to just the kibble. If the diarrhea doesn't seem to clear up (and they seem otherwise healthy) then I will call the vet.

Plain canned pumpkin added to the food can help firm up the stools also.
