I put a Seresto collar on Chunky last weekend since it was time for a flea and tick preventative and he has had an upset stomach twice since then. I fasted him 3 days ago and he did well for two days and today I came home to a mess and he immediately ran outside and went some more. I am wondering if this is because of the collar or possibly something else
His diet hasn't changed recently other than him eating some beef brisket thursday night for his birthday and he was fine the next two days after that
He has had somewhat loose stools a day or two per week recently but I figured that was mostly from over feeding him and was slowly cutting back. The problem was the treats given to him by the people at the local restaurants we stop at daily plus his regular amount of food.
I will probably talk to the vet tomorrow and see what she suggest and he has always taken an oral prevenative before but I was trying to avoid giving him something orally anymore
BTW..... I never used ANY flea collars or pills or whatever for fleas n ticks for any of my dogs throughout my lifetime. Living in Montreal and surrounded by water we get a lot of mosquitoes n other bugs. Here in Alberta it's very well known for ticks. On my GS or these 2 mutts, all I use is a spritzer bottle of water like one cup of water, add 10 drops of each...lavender, citronella, lemongrass n peppermint. That's it and it works absolutely fantastic!!!! When it comes to ingest chemicals for my pets or I, there is no way in hell it's going to happen. When you do that, it brings other issues and becomes a chain reaction or domino effect. My 2 cents worth.
