I'm debating whether to wait this out or just go ahead and make a vet appointment. I guess I've gotten a bit dependent on this site for advice!
We adopted Bullie (almost 3 years old) last Saturday. She's been on 3 cups of Kibbles and Bits a day for 3 years in addition to treats. She usually gets 2 cups in the morning and 1 cup in the afternoon. This works for me because that's my bichon's (Gizmo) schedule as well. So, I changed Bullie's food to Blue Wilderness so it is the same as Gizmo's. The day after I got her, I put 2 3/4 cups of Kibble and 1/4 cup of Blue in a tupperware, shook it up to mix, then gave her 2 cups in the morning and 1 cup in the afternoon. I also started giving her the Blue treats in addition to his mystery treats (bunch of different i-don't-know-what-they-are treats in a plastic container).
By Thursday, Bullie's poop went runny - kinda wierd, some are firm some are runny. It is the same today. And she didn't finish her food this morning but she still downed treats with enthusiasm. I've been giving her more Blue treats than her mystery treats.
So, I'm thinking of just keeping with the 2 3/4 cup Kibble 1/4 cup Blue but ease up on the Blue treats. Is this a good idea?
Did I do the switch too fast? I was gonna start doing 2 1/2 Kibble 1/2 Blue on Sunday, but I guess I shouldn't do that yet.
