in need of your advice please.I have a 5 month old cav who has just finished switching food from pedigree chum pouches to james well beloved and today is the third day of having it alone without being mixed with old feed he has been sick a few times just foamy type and two lots of very very soft stools a bit concernd as i only wormed him this morning and he ate breakfast ok but hasnt touched a thing since has anyone any ideas as if its something that is due to what ive done or do you reccomend vets

hmmm - sounds like its all been a bit too much for his system...changing food and worming.

I would fast him for 12 hours... and then give him a bit of both again for a while until his stomach settles down. Its a lot for a 5 month old to cope with.

HTH

thanks chloe i thought that too but the vet recommended i worm him today i did state that he has just changed food could it be he doesnt get along with jwb do you think he seems to scavange at everything food wise apart from his own meals he doesnt get any though

Hi Feddie
we switched Gus from Tinned puppy food onto Hills dried and he was the same with regards to stools - takes a few days to settle in but then they go ok. Some wormers can upset their little tummies too .
Keep your eye on him but i would think he is ok :)

hmmm - i always feel vets are somewhat *enthusiastic* over worming.

i don't always listen to what my vet says i'm afraid. i would worm when your dog is healthy and settled and on his normal food.... its easier on his stomach then :)

Chloe

I agree with Chloe - vets don't always get it right !!

Joyce

Have you mixed the JWB with water ?

Lucy

Yes i have tried that but he wont touch it thanks anyway

I haven't found a food better than Burns yet - I would call them and ask for a sample. You could also mix a bit of fresh mince in with it or tripe too. what does you breeder say?
