Did you mix in the food he got before as a transition? That could be your problem. Maybe you need to go back to (no matter how bad it was) the old food he originally started with.
I started looking into supplements as I got scared when my vet chastised me for wanting to feed "human grade" food. When Henry's blood work was off the vet blamed my diet. Then months later even his special pricey food got pulled for being tainted. (And now in light of recent meat debacle: is our human grade food even that good?..glad I feed natural) I was worried and went directly to a nutritonist (and not that thats the answer because that was labor intensive and pricey plus he would not eat the food with the powders in it). I recently (4 months ago) found Natures Logic. It seems to be working (and palatable) but i am not sure enough to recommend it whole heartedly. You really need to get your dog's poop stabilized first before adding any things to his diet. Did it stabilize yet? I have been off email for few days, so I hope he did. best, michelle and henry in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, NY -----Original Message----- From: Bunny & Maxx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, 16 Feb 2008 10:29 pm Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Help with vitamin suggestions 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.

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. best, michelle and henry in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, NY -----Original Message----- From: Emi-Mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, 16 Feb 2008 8:43 am 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 More new features than ever.
