lizjaye Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hi all, Gustav Klimt, soon to be 3 year old greyhound. I was feeding him Eukanuba but I stopped to move him to lamb/rice combo which I use IAMS. All was fine transition went perfect. Poop was really good. Sunday, he had a hookworm breakout (saw the shiny covering on his poop and went uh oh). So the transition was 2 weeks old so I don't think it's the food because this diarrhea is continuing. I have him on rice, and I/D Hills Turkey sensitive stomach food (canned). Today (Wednesday) this morning he was better but still not "formed". I started goat dewormer on Sunday and am continuing. Any thoughts? I was going to move to Purina sensitive stomach lamb/rice. ???? Thanks! Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFlaca Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just a thought...maybe the frequent changes in diet are contributing to the gastric upset?

1Moregrey Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Journey will be 3 this summer and also has hookworms. She has well formed poops tootsie roll bounce style from the purina sport. When the worms have a new cycle it gets a little soft but still easy to pickup. I tried a few different foods but this works for us. When she gets the upset stomach noises she gets a little bit of buttermilk to settle her stomach and entice her to eat. May you find what works for your boy.

lizjaye Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 So it's not frequent food change. He has been on Eukanuba for 6 months. 2 weeks ago I slowly transitioned him off eukanuba to IAMS lamb. No problem. NOW with the hookworm it's been a very bad 3 days. My question is 2 parts. 1. Other than the diarrhea protocol which I have followed to the letter. is there anything else I can do 2. When we get to the other side, can I transition him from IAMS lamb to Purina Proplan sensitive stomach lamb..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 We've been through a year of hookworm treatment with the 2 senior broodies we adopted off of one of the farms. We got the hooks eradicated using Dr. Ng's modified protocol and modified that a little more because of their age. To combat the stomach issues that came along with the hooks and treatment, our vet had us add RxZyme and RxBiotic to their food for each meal. Both did so well on the products that we've kept using them after the hooks were clear. Both products can be found on Amazon and I think, Chewy. There is a tiny scoop in each container and one scoop on the food for each meal really seems to help. Contrary to the brand name, they do not require a prescription to purchase. Quote Camp Broodie.

organistswife Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Make sure the feed is low protein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
