Okay, so I'm not sure I've posted about this before but we've had ongoing issues with Hugo's digestive system. He started out on Blue and he had soft stools and just wasn't doing well overall. We switched to Fromm Grain Free after we did a sample run and his stools seemed to firm up a bit. Still wasn't happy with them. Then one day he suddenly skipped breakfast 2 days in a row and then had hemorrhagic loose stool and I took him straight to the vet. The vet recommended a bland diet of rise and cottage cheese. He had hardly any stool during the 5 days he was on the bland diet. The rice seemed to really clog him up- he actually went the first 48 hours without any stool. The vet recommended trying a different food with a single protein source. So we switched to Acana Singles. He seemed to do okay for a few days and then boom- he skipped breakfast two days, he has super loose stool and his stomach is making crazy gurgling sounds...
I just want this boy to feel better! The vet is saying the next step is switching him to Hills Science Diet I/D.... not an idea I'm thrilled about. Any recommendations on what this could be? Could he have a food allergy? How would I figure that out? Is there a GOOD food that he can be tried on? I Science Diet I/D as awful as I imagine it is?
Agh! Thanks for any help in advance : (
