Also, the vet did do a fecal test which came up negative for parasites. Would giardia have been detected in that test? Heā€™s gaining weight and is active.

Giardia has to be tested for specifically so you might want to call the vet and ask.

I was letting him free feed, about 2 cups total a day. then I actually read one of your articles about diarrhea and over feeding, which I mentioned to the vet as a possible factor to the diarrhea. So, she recommended 1 1/4 cups, divided up 3x a day. I felt that was too little so I went to about 1 3/4 divided up 3x a day and then the next day I realized I should listen to the vet. Last night I started on the bland diet for some gut rest for him. Iā€™m only feeding him 1/2 a cup of boiled hamburger meat with rice and I plan on doing that 3x a day. Is this the right amount for a puppy or still too much?
I plan to feed him the bland diet until his stools return to normal and Iā€™m researching some foods that do not have sweet potatoes, since he has the yeast issues. Iā€™m looking at Wellness Simple Recipes, but itā€™s not offered in a puppy formula. What would you recommend?

Look at some of these foods.... Zingnature, Acana, Orijen, Earthborn Holistic, Fromm. They are top quality kibbles

[MENTION=19186]AKbully[/MENTION], I personally find your brand has too much potatoes n peas. First ingredient is beef then 2 veggies then lamb. Proteins needs to be one behind each other and not in between. Potatoes n peas can give a belly gas. I keep reading all your comments and seems even the vet isnā€™t sure what it is. If it was one of my dogs, now this is ā€œmeā€ I would put my dog on a ā€œfastā€ (fasting) for 12-24 hrs. Donā€™t worry they wonā€™t die of starvation. Must always have water at all times. This is a recipe I kept as one of my Doberman yearā€™s ago had same issue as yours.

Goes like this: After fasting, feed a bland diet. 1 part boiled, skinless, boneless chicken breast to 2 parts boiled rice (brown or white). Do not use any oil, salt, seasoning, or any other additives. Feed your dog very small portions 3-4 times a day for the next 5 days or so, gradually increasing the amount to their normal daily portion.

Continue feeding the bland diet until your dog returns to normal, then add on a couple days. Gradually incorporate your dogā€™s normal food. Start with Ā¼ normal food with Ā¾ chicken and rice, then Ā½ and Ā½ and so on, until youā€™re feeding as usual again.

You can also later add some yogurt since heā€™s a pup. Go slowly!!!
