Pup scouring

[mossyh07 64]

Iv a 4 month old 3/4 whippet 1/4 hound that is scouring quiet alot over the last week.. I wormed him on thursday and he's feed on mostly steeped racer nuts with scraps added every couple of nights.. It isn't affecting his mood and he is acting as normal but is dar anytin i can do to clear up the scouring? Shud i bring him to the vet?

I'd say the racer dog food is quite strong for a young pup mate and may be too rich for him.... or if you have changed the diet or brand of dog food this will lead to scouring also...

 

redmills do a puppy food which is very good but costly around 40 to 45 euros i think it should be.... but should last a while...

 

you also say you wormed him thursday, this could cause stomach upset also, so if the pup wasn't scourng with the racer nuts, i'd put it down to the worming.... you should see the stools harden up within a few days... it also may be a virus type scour, so just keep an eye on out, if things don't seem to be getting better i suggest a trip for a check up to the vet.. hope you get sorted out...

We always feed chicken and boiled rice, if any of our dogs get the "runs". This is very bland, and will not cause any more stomach irritation, but does provide protein and stops the hunger.
