Here I go again. I feel lost.
I have Loki on Origen Puppy food. He has been on it for about a month now ( less a few days ) When we switched him, he was a Blue Buffalo Puppy.
We did 2 weeks change over and he was doing fine ... except he smelled REALLY bad. So we started adding yogurt to his food - about 2 tea spoons 2x / day. He got really bad diarrhea - so out goes the yogurt, thinking hes lactose ... which he probably is ...
BUT its been a week now with smaller portions, feeding from a variety of tools so he doesn't gulp down the food/
Poops have gotten a LITTLE more solid, maybe a day or 2 here and there where they are great, but I would say the majority of the time they are more wet than solid.
Is it time to switch again ? Or is he still adjusting because I have switched him so often recently ?
What he has been on :
before we got him - Beniful *shudder*
Blue Buffalo Wilderness Puppy - didn't agree with him at all.
Blue Buffalo Puppy - personal choice to change ..didn't like where they were sourcing their chicken from.
Origen Puppy - off and on loose stool.
Could it be too much protein? Can I add anything else to help him along without switching it up too much... like pumpkin or rice?
I should add, his energy levels are great. hes like a timed train when he poops. hes not losing weight. still eating, and does not seem to be overly hungry all the time.
