Kimber's stool has still been very wet. Somedays it will be semi-solid with very wet stool covering the outide. Sometimes they'll have form but just be mush. I'm feeding Evo and i've tried adding pumpkin but she just eats around it. I am happy with the visual results of the food (muscle gain) but her stool is still wet. It's only been about 2 or 3 weeks since she's been on Evo. I've got another 25 bags of free samples (friends buddy works for inova). So I'm going to stick through with all the food to see if theres any change (it takes time i know). So, after the 25 other bags if she still has loose stool I'm going to have to change.

Any idea's as to what to change it to? I'm thinking Evo Red or inova regular.
If not that I might try Back to basics. Any idea's on what else to feed her? I really didnt want to feed her grains but it doesnt seem to be working for her.

P.S. i finally got her to chew the pig ears... I splashed a little bit of water on it to bring out the flavor. She chewed it up. I'll probably go get bullysticks tomorrow.

HERE ARE SOME PICS... She's small! my truck tires sit higher than her.

I'd ditch the pig ears for one and just stick with some good quality bully-sticks.

Mordy will probably have something different to say, but I probably wouldn't stick with the EVO for more than another week and a half tops. If her stools are that loose, she's really not getting all the benefits from the food. You could try adding some probiotics, or just switch to a different formula. For some dogs, super-high protein foods like EVO are just too rich for their systems.

I think it was Mordy that mentioned on another thread that over-feeding can at times cause diarrhea/loose stool. You may want to make sure you aren't feeding too much. I had this problem with my bulldog. Seemed like whatever food I put her on caused her to have "soft serve" then I read about over feeding, cut her back and stool is perfect now. :)
