Gus (10 weeks old now) has been having very soft stools pretty consistently since bring him home. They are actually really hard to pick up off the grass, super messy. When we went to pick him out at 7 weeks old, we gave the breeder a small bag of his current food so she could start the transition before he came home with us at 9 weeks. She had also been moistening his food according to the following recipe, and recommended that I do the same:
Breakfast and Dinner: 1 cup of kibble (Gus is in Blue Buffalo Life Protection Puppy now) moistened with 1 teaspoon of powdered milk mixed in 1/4 c. of warm water and 1 teaspoon of plain nonfat yogurt.
Lunch is just 1 cup of plain dry kibble.
She also suggested supplementing with 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese every 3-4 days and 1/2 a hard boiled egg once every 5 days or so.
When he came home I started using powdered goat milk instead of cow milk because I know it is tolerated much, much better in virtually all animals.
So.. do to think the super soft stools could be the Blue Buffalo? Should I switch him to Fromm? Or could it be all the other things (milk, etc.) added to his food? Would you keep moistening a 10 week old puppy's kibble? Or could it be all the switching?
Thanks for any input!!!
