When she came she had very loose stools.......very frequent bowel movements (16 in first 48 hours). I have been feeding Eukanuba German Shepherd with raw ground beef and nupro mixed in. For a couple days the stools were almost formed. Now she has watery diarrhea......she even messed in her crate which embarrassed her greatly. She is a dear, sweet dog, putting on weight, eating and playing and looking clear-eyed and shiny......but I can't seem to get the stool to be normal. The rescue org. has made a vet's appointment for Thursday for her. She's been wormed multiple times. No vomiting. Any suggestions or thoughts from this expert group? thank you in advance for your concern. Marcy Smith With her debilitated condition I am sure she has multiple issue's. One of them may be solved with some psyllium fibre. You might try adding some Original metamucil, 1 tbsp, to her food. It will help solidify those stools and give her the additional fibre her body has been lacking, and is a natural way to do it. Would also see she gets acidophilus (yogurt) in her meals to help restore good bacteria in her system.
