When I got Minnie, she also had diarrhea real bad, and I had to take her
to the vet the next day. He said it was eating too much canned food and
told me to give her dry kibble and vitamins. I did put just a little of
the liquid from the canned food on it just to get her to eat it. She is
2 years old now and I still have to be careful not to put too much tuna
in her kibble or her stools will get soft, which is what led to the trip
to the vet for the anal glad back up. They all have dry kibble avaiable
all day, but twice a day they get one handful of dry kibble with about 1
tablespoon of tuna and the water from the tuna mixed in. The other 2
girls it doesn't bother to get a little more, but Minnie's has to be no
more than a small handful and less than a tablespoon of tuna. I don't
need to give vitamins now because I buy Timberwolf kibble and it has all
the vitamins and herbs.
Blessings to u and your's :-)

How did you know that Henry needed supplements?
My new pup has been with me a week today. He had really bad diarrhea
last Thursday. He's better now, his stool is still soft but the vet
said it was gas. He's a very gas-y pup, that's why. Right now, since
the vet visit, he is on a prescription canned dogfood mixed a bit with
his dry kibbles. I'm hoping that after the canned food, his food
intake stabilizes and his stool becomes a bit harder. Maxx eats the
same food and I've never had problems with his stool.
So I'm worried that the food I give him does not suit him or he is
still adjusting. So I'm waiting a few more days to see since he could
also be adjusting. He is just 3months.

I had big problems with Henry's blood work being off and searched
and searched for nutritional supplements, even had them custom made
to is blood work- ho help!
But then I found Natures Logic which seemed not only to be palatable
but also since he's been on it, his blood is normal and he has his
vitality back. I cannot say if the blood being normal is coincidence
or result but I use it and feed a homemade diet as well. Evidently
its from food natural sources and not synthetic which are harder to
digest.
Natures Logic all food fortifier
Natures Logic North Atlantic Salmon oil
good luck and good for you feeding human grade food! If I can find it
I will send you an article from Whole Dog Journal on this topic which
was helpful to me.

Subject: [Chihuahuas] Help with vitamin suggestions
Since Isabella has to be on a homemade food diet because of food
allergies, her coat just doesn’t seem as soft as it should be and she
has a very small area of hair loss on her chest. Her diet consists
of sweet potatoes, oatmeal, broccoli, chicken, blueberries, and
eggs. I add a healthy powder to her food from Dr. Pitcairn’s book
which has brewer’s yeast, lecithin granules, kelp powder, organic
bone meal, and vitamin C. I also add salmon oil that has omega 3 and
omega 6 fatty acid daily. I don’t know if this is a complete diet or
not. If she is missing nutrients I need help in finding a good
vitamin that she would take and would help her coat. This group is
great in helping others and I really appreciate all the knowledge I
find here.
Thanks,
Emi
