Houndtime Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Odin has had diarrhea for about a week now. He usually gets a little after we give him his heart worm meds, but, it has gotten worse. He is eating and acting well and doesn't really seem to have any sense of urgency just puddle poop. I was looking for the veterinarian's potato diet and googling brings ups nothing. I know most of the ingredients: white and sweet potato, leek and turnip, but don't know the exact recipe. Any help? Thanks.

greysmom Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 It can't have leek in it as that's in the onion family. Fast him until the diarrhea stops. Then gradually introduce very small amounts of a home cooked bland diet. Use a high fiber carb source like sweet potato if you want, or use half Olewo carrot-half whole grain. And a low fat protein. If the diarrhea starts up again he needs to go in to the vet. If he stays good, gradually start to introduce his regular food after 3-4 meals.

ramonaghan Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 We have had luck with plain chicken breast and oatmeal prepared with coconut water, plus a spoonful of Olewo carrots. If that doesn't work, I would think a short course of metronidazole is in order. Get well soon, Odin!
