Hi all
Our 13 week old West Highland Terrier pup Jack has had the runs, in varying degrees, sometimes ok, recently getting worse. We were feeding him Burns mini-bites with a teaspoon of Brandy wet food mixed in.
I rang the Vets yesterday cos things were really, er, liquid and he gave me a bag of Hill's Science Prescription I. D. to try for 3 days. He says if no improvement then to bring him in. I'm really worried as he's so little.
He's in good form and as energetic as ever - could it be some sort of stomach bug?
Any help greatly appreciated.

It could be he's picking up something in the garden (its what pups do best ;) ) or it could be the wet food, what was the breeder feeding him on? is it the same as you? swapping over too quickly can cause runs too ;) another thing that can cause it is feeding too much ;) I always find that a teaspoon or two of Bio Yoghurt on their meals helps enormously and settles them right down ;)
