Thread: Sicky/Poop-y Problem?

NCarver - thanks for the advice, it's reassuring to know that it's not completely uncommon. We are avoiding giving him wet and dry food at the same time now - we're only giving him dry food when he's having the chicken as we give him smaller quantities of that and he takes his time over it.

catslave - I appreciate your concern and I have read everyone's replies carefully and appreciate them all. I have also spoken to his breeder who I feel knows him best and was able to advise me best on what to do with him. We did feed just chicken and dry food for two days and found that he was okay. His poop has gone back to how it was before last week when he was first ill and had smelly poo. From this and the advice some people on here have given we've realised that the problem most likely lies in the fact he's bulking himself up as his wet food expands his dry and then running around like a crazy which doesn't help! He has only been sick three times and each time it's been just his last meal or two thrown back up. He's been eating what we've given him and he's been behaving totally normally.

What I don't appreciate is you accusing me of doing nothing. If I wasn't bothered by it, I wouldn't be posting on this forum about it. If we did what each individual person on here suggested, we'd be trying far too many different things! As you can see from the previous posts I've made, we have tried some of the things suggested (such as the boiled chicken you suggested in your initial response) and in particular we have listened to his breeder regarding what we should do. I am quite upset by your accusation, actually. I know you say you weren't trying to be harsh and uncaring but I don't think that really came across in your post. Now, I apologise if I'm being harsh here as this has almost always been a friendly and welcoming forum so I do not want to cause any friction but the forum could do without people accusing owners of not caring for their pets properly. I'm sorry if that's not what you meant but that's just the way I've interpreted it.
