My 11 week old puppy has been having increasingly looser poop. We have been to the vet and spoken on the phone as well. We tried a bland diet for 2 days but it did not help. Now she is on Hill's ID and metronidazole for a week. If that doesn't help the vet suggested a hydrolyzed diet. Lucy has been normal in every way other than the loose poop. She has had her stool tested and it has been negative.
When we brought her home at 8 weeks, her breeder had her on metronidazole and panacur for a week. She said it was to prevent any issues with giardia etc. The vet thought that was odd unless they have had issues with this. I don't know if that is a common practice for a breeder. My 3 1/2 yr old boy that we got at 10 weeks wasn't on anything.
I did switch her diet over the course of a week from 4 Health to Pro Plan for large breed puppy. She also had a her second round of vaccinations.
Any thoughts?
