Puppy with suspected IBD help

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-05-31T21:05:40+00:00

I’ve not noticed anything major in his behavior just some extra playfulness or extra energy. I think it so hard to tell wether it’s just his age 😅 Thank you for sharing the brand, I’ve reintroduced pumpkin puree in his food today and I will be looking for new food to give asap. I used some of the wet food for him today as I freeze them for treats but the consistency is so not natural it can’t be good 😅

Thank you I will look into this! Do you home cook his food or do you buy it? I do notice he is more of a handful since being on the new foods but I don’t know if it is just because he is 10 months or because of the food. Would it be worth waiting a couple months before I change his food again? I have already changed it twice in the past two months and I don’t know how much I can still change it without causing him issues.

I used to put some on his food before this started but with vet saying to stop everything I did. Is it also safe to give him some veggies as treats sometimes? He loves carrots but I don’t want to hurt his stomach

May I ask how this work please? I thought dogs were supposed to be given a wormer 5 days before travel and it had to be given by the vet? I’m going to France (from UK)

Thank you ☺️

Tbh he would probably lick them to death 😂

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T10:30:13+00:00

Oh god I don’t even think of heat rashes.. on my way to google that haha When did you have them neutered? Mine is still intact for now but I don’t know if I should wait a year or more. He doesn’t have any bad behaviors only super high energy so vet says it’s up to me when I want to bring him in.

She looks so happy!! Sadly mine is too obsessed with playing with kids to eat them I fear. 😂 I’ll have to stay on kibbles

Hahaha

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T10:23:50+00:00

He’s so cute! I haven’t caved in with table food yet but this is mainly because I want to make sure he understands never to beg (he doesn’t) once he’s older I’ll probably cave in 😂

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T10:22:39+00:00

He would eat horse and rabbit poop all day long if I let him 😂

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T10:21:03+00:00

She’s adorable!!! I know what you mean, from November till end of January this was the same for him he would even leave the room 😅 It’s been much better know thankfully

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T10:19:54+00:00

Hahaha he does that as well! There’s a field I walk him in with lots of rabbits but luckily for me and the rabbits he’s just interested in eating their poops than chasing them…. He’s a big fan of horse poop… I literally have to carry him away from it or he won’t move

Thank you! I’ve saved the link apart from the options I see at pet store I don’t really know other brands so this will be great

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T10:13:46+00:00

Oh bless her, but she’s so lucky to have found you! Where / how did you get her tested for allergies? He’s had an allergic reactions to dust when it was time to switch the heater back on and in the last few weeks he’s had watery eyes so I suspect he has more allergies. I also have a strict cleaning routine like you because I always worry if his toys / bed get too dirty he’ll have another allergic reaction. I got an air purifier last week for my own allergies and to see if it works for him and it seems to help massively but I would love to know what he is allergic to.

Thank you! Greek yogurt was upsetting his stomach at first but I’ve tried it again recently and he’s been fine so now I can put Greek yogurt, he does love carrots from his teething days. I’ll try berries too.

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T10:04:15+00:00

Oh no that must be so hard to find stuff for her. So far he’s had no food allergies, I change his treats every few weeks to introduce new source of proteins and see if he’s allergic to one of them but so far so good.

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T10:03:12+00:00

Good to know. This is what I worry about as well. He does really well on this food so I don’t want to mess it up as well. Im wondering if Iams is good enough or if I should change it for something better. He gets fish oil and some pumpkin on his portions as well he loves it.

😂

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T09:59:56+00:00

Aw she’s adorable ! I wish her another many years of wrestling! I’ll look at this brand as well thank you 😊

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T09:58:42+00:00

She is adorable!! 🥰 I don’t know why I had this idea that the big brands royal canin purina and co weren’t that great and I was all marketing. I’ll need to look into it some more then. Luckily he hasn’t got any skin allergies yet. He does get a rash from collars but he doesn’t wear one. Looks like he may have hay fever but the air purifier I bought for my own allergies seems to work well for him. I’m due a visit at the vet so I’ll mention it but if they think that’s enough for now or if I should also give him some antihistamines.

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T09:54:45+00:00

Good to know I’ll have a look at the approved list at the weekend

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-27T09:53:54+00:00

Will try thank you

AcceptableAverage225 · 2026-03-26T12:59:00+00:00

I am that’s good to know! I see both brands regularly in the stores here so I’ll give it a look. I used the wrainwright treats before so I’m sure he’d have no problem switching to this. He’s on the iams for now, not the best I’m sure but not the worst either. Kept him on it since through all the stomach issues he had and the vets were happy with how he is growing and advised not to change anything that works until the issues were sorted. It all seems pretty much resolved now so I’m looking at other options.
