I had some awfl problems with or two - Sonia was so picky about what she ate we ended up virtually gourmet coking for her, not too many problems with what came out the other end. When we got Daley, well what can I say........he has a very *special* digestive system, smelly trumps and ten to twelve liquid poos twice a day....yuk. We stumbled upon applaws and the one which suits them most is the chicken lite, I usually shop around to get it for £35-£43 when I need more. We are down to one solid poo [twice a day] from each, altho Daley often has a follow-up [also solid], and less smelly rooms from his constant trumping. Just got the latest from www.millbryhill.co.uk/search.html?query=applaws+dog&search.x=0&search.y=0

Just going through something similar with my foster Ratty, he has had awful poo's since he arrived & the farts were lethal, I have never smelt anything like it When I took him to the vet people had to leave the waiting room because of the stench He has been on a week's course of antibiotics (Metronidazole) & then a few days of probiotic paste to see if he had a bug but unfortunately his poo's are still an exploding mess. I have tried him on Barking Heads 'fusspot' which is salmon & potato, just finished with Barking Heads 'sensitive' which is chicken & rice, now about to start on Burns chicken & brown rice The poo quantity & farting have decreased dramatically thankfully but the consistency is still way too loose, so not sure what else to try if Burns is no good

Wanda you could try fish4dogs. It's the only food Sapphy is ok on and only one of couple that suits Gracie too. If you buy a 1.5k bag off their web site they'll refund if it's no good, you fill in a web form and send the empty bag back I believe. The bigger bags can always be found much cheaper from various web sites if you google it. Just be careful not to overfeed it. Sapphy produced pools of liquid chocolate for 6 mths until I tried fish4dogs (white fish not salmon) She'd had metronidazole and the paste and a poo sample sent to the lab but it came back clear.

Many ex-kennel dogs are not used to 'quality' food and their digestive systems just don't seem to cope. I know we like to think we are giving them the best we can afford but sometimes the cheap 'rubbish' seems to suit them far better and the kennel dogs fed on cheap kibble rarely have any 'butt' problems.

Hi all. We rescued a 3 yr lurcher 4 weeks ago. He has various stages of the runs. First one solid but soft and the following 2/3 get runnier. Tried chicken and rice. Didnt make much difference. He is on Dr Johns titanium and half a tin of meat in jelly. I have tried small amounts of rice with this. Firmed up first poo a bit, but still ends up runny!! Not in a position to spend a fortune on different food every few weeks. Any advice would be great. He is very active and bouncy. So happy just runny
