Hi all,
sorry in advance as I have a pretty gross question, but I figured I'd take it directly to the experts.
My baby Clyde is 8 months old, and he's been on Blue Buffalo Wilderness Puppy formula pretty much since we got him. He's always done well with this food. Lately, hes had so much energy that he's getting walked a lot more, and it seems like the more he walks, the more he has to poop (which makes sense). However, he'll wake up in the morning, have a perfectly normal (large) firm poop, and then anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour later after walking a bit stop and poop again. Sometimes this happens twice. After his initial poop its progressively wetter/watery - to the point that the last bits are straight diarrhea. At first I thought this was a side-effect of his eating leaves/twigs/other crap he shouldn't (I've taken to watching him like a hawk on walks now to make sure he doesn't anymore), but now I'm starting to think its something else. He doesn't seem bothered by it, and he's got a pretty tough stomach (which we've discovered after hes puked up terrible things we didn't know he'd eaten and then going on about his merry way), so I don't think its a blockage/serious issue. But its been going on for a while (some days it doesn't happen).
Am I feeding him too much? He gets 1.5 cups in the morning and again at night. I do give him small treats throughout the day (we're working on all kinds of training), but they are Zuke's and were supposedly all natural. Someone else mentioned that puppy food is very high protein - is it time to start switching him to adult food? I'd ideally like to have him back to his twice a day, firm poops before christmas, as he will be staying with my friend and we all know how hard it is to clean runny poops out of grass.
Thanks in advance!
