Echo is 15 months old, Since about 3 days after we took in his sister Indigo, a rescue dog he has had loose bowel movements.
She has been declared worm free, and about a week into it we did take echo to the vet where they confirmed no parasites with him.
She chalked it up to nerves, even though he loves his new sister, it could still be effecting his bowels. She prescribed a mild antibiotic for 5 days and gave us 6 doses of immodium.
That did the trick after about 3 doses of immodium. But once it ran its course he went back to the lose bowels.
He's not going more often, and he's not making a copus amount of movement so dehydration etc isn't too much of a concern right now.
He also isn't acting any different, other than drinking more water because he's playing more than he ever did thanks to his new sister.
We had him on the bland chicken and rice diet for two weeks it didn't seem to effect things much. We are going on almost a month now of these loose stools.
Does it take this long for a GSD to get "adjusted"
