Much to my dismay Jazz still has chronic diahrrea. I've fed her exactly as my vet recommended. I'm really wanting to add rice or pumpkin to tighten her up but vet wants me to stay with the new food and supplements only for six weeks.
I can see why the vet wants to do this. Adding rice or pumpkin is another variable in the mix and the vet is trying to control the amount of variables that are affecting your little one. My experience is that these products are generally safe....but we have 1 cat with food issues so we have been through a similar routine food wise....and vets really do like to arrive at conclusions with as few variables thrown into the mix as possible.

....that said 6 weeks is a long time to continue to watch your dog have diarrhea if it doesn't get any better

wishing you and your little one
