Topic Dog Boards / Visitors Questions / puppy with upset tummy
- By Guest [gb] Date 24.06.04 21:04 UTC
my gsp is nearly 13 weeks old and ive had her since 8 weeks. she is fed on burns mini bites and was weaned onto that. (if u think u habe heard this before, then u have, i just can not get logged in and stay logged in-so sorry)
she was wormed at 10 weeks, like her breeder suggested and wasnt sick or any thing like some dogs are, around that time. when i first got her, she had an upset tummy, and i just thought this was a change in the water, and i thought that it should settle down i a week or 2. but she still has an upset tummy atleast once,. sometimes twice a day and she is always always hungry, she wakes me up at 5 after her last feed at about 6, wanting her breakfast. i tried for a couple of nights to push her tea back by a couple of hours, but then she woke up even earlier.  i am getting worried about her, as i know older dogs can cope with little changes more then puppies can.
I have read on here that some dogs just dont except burns and have upset tummies, could that be a possibility, and if so should i change her food, and what on to?
also she is always scratching her ears, the vet treated her (at 8 weeks) with a drop on thing that treats fleas and ear mites, it seemed to work for a couple of days, and then she just started itching again. she even sits down in the middle of a game to itch which i find a bit odd.
finally, she seems to have some kind of rain fobia, she loves having a bath, but if i take her outside when its raining or when it has been raining, she screams her head off. she is housetrained when it is not raining outside and asks to go out, but if she sees puddles on the ground from the night first thing in the morning, i can garantee she will not ask to go out all that day.
sorry i had lots of questions about different topics, thank you in advance of replies

try changing food I would suggest to go to Pro Plan or Canadae, I have a dog with a very tuchy tummy and he eats thoes very well. I have tried to so many other foods and thoes have worked the best.

On the ear one it could be a food or enviromenl allergy, or dry skin.On our dogsfood I put on a tablespoon of best friend skin and coat supplament.

   show her him/her that the rain is O.K. and that it won't harm him/her. But dont reashure him/her to much (like "Oh its O.K." ect.) because that will only make it worse and re-enforse this behavor.
