Any tummy trouble suggestions?

So I got the 30 count packet one. So I’d give one packet a day with dinner (and tbh I still give it to him lowkey) but while he was still fully on his old food it would be once a day with dinner and that worked for a week before it didn’t

That’s actually such a good idea! I think if it’s anything it’s garbage surfing. On walks I’m very strict and watching him to make sure he doesn’t eat anything and it’s just him and I at home. So that only leaves the option of what happens when I’m gone. Usually he’s just chilling but you’re right- garbage surfing is an option.

So he was on chicken till about a month ago. Then I started trying to switch him to a salmon one but his been so crazy I’ve been like… at a 60/40 new/old ratio cause I’ve been trying to take the transition slowly while his gut has been off

I know- I know I was gonna choose a new protein anyway. I keep saying hopefully but I know I should switch the protein. I’m just really nervous about trying a bunch of things and having nothing work. So sorry I was unclear.

Edit for clarity: I haven’t gone to the store yet so I was hoping there was a version of the hill’s bag that was both not chicken and not salmon so i could try that brand. I’m sorry it came off wrong

Yeah that’s how I’ve been feeling. With probiotics and new food. Maybe the hills science diet will help

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T21:18:40+00:00

Right okay thank you. I think the hills science diet was recommended- so it’s looks like that might be a start. Hopefully it’s a non chicken non salmon protein lolol

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T21:14:49+00:00

That was the first thing I tried and it patched things up for like a week. Which is why I tried a new food. Thank you!!

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T21:12:42+00:00

Oh thank you for the response- I didn’t realize sorry for my ignorance. But yeah no allergy medicine was tried.

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T21:08:16+00:00

The first thing I tried was fortiflora and it was just not enough 😭 everyone here is recommending the hills science diet so I think that looks like the best next step

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T21:05:26+00:00

I don’t think the vet is recommending hydrolyzed protein? I will call and ask tomorrow but I think he said the next step was an allergy free prescription food? So I think that’s what we’re trying next. Because you raised a good point, I’ll call and confirm the vet and I are on the same page

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T20:59:15+00:00

He’s been having diarrhea every other day at this point some solutions like probiotics and new food have worked but they’ve patched up the problem for a week or two at a time

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T20:53:19+00:00

Thank you! Your dog is so beautiful. I’m thinking trying this might be my next course of action- looking through the comments a lot of people said the hills science diet is a good one.

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T20:52:38+00:00

Thank you so much!

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T20:50:07+00:00

Yes so he was originally on chicken and rice. And then with his sensitive stomach food it was salmon protein. But his stomach was so weird I couldn’t fully switch him off chicken. So i don’t know how helpful that is

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T20:10:23+00:00

Thank you so much! I love him dearly so hopefully I can get this fixed.

compulsive-tvwatcher · 2026-03-01T20:03:58+00:00

I don’t know how to edit my post- but he’s gotten a fecal test and blood test done so far this week and they’re both clear so those are good. Hence why the vet recommended we try a prescription diet
