Part of your problem is probably his diet. A lot of bulldogs can NOT handle large amounts of protein. Orijen is really high in protein . High protein can cause a thin look and loose stool and the inability to gain weight. We have seen this quit a bit in the breed. Try changing his food. Look for foods with the protein levels around 20–24% Fromm -pork and applesauce and white fish and potato are both lower in protein and my dogs do well on it. There are many types of good food just look for low protein and you will start seeing a difference within a few weeks in his weight and stool. Good luck!
You are welcome. Let me know if lowering the protein seems to help. I'm interested to know if that's the problem. Good luck.
When I had problems with Izzy and stabilizing her diet I used pumpkin in her food and it worked wonders to harden her stool. Just a tablespoon on her food and it was like a miracle! Try that even when swithcing to a new food to help with the process!
Thanks for the tip - is that cooked, mashed pumpkin? The transition to the new kibble has been very easy, but I will keep pumpkin in mind for possible problems in the future!
I buy can pumpkin in the grocery store (no salt or spices, pure pumpkin). Pet shops also sell them but more expensive.
