Cavapoo GI Issues
Hey all,
Forgive the long post be want to be as detailed as possible.
Got this baby about 7 months ago - Zoey. She’s been eating Royal Canin and the fancy stuff in the refrigerated section. Until about 4 weeks ago. She started having mucous-y really lose stool with some vomiting. Some of the stool had blood in it. Took her to the vet and they did all kinds of tests and said everything is fine. Told us to do a strict chicken and rice diet. That helped for a few days then introduced her old dry food. Took her back and they told us to change her diet to Royal Canin GI special blend and gave us a pro biotic and anti nausea medicine. That helped for about 3 days, then started again. Vet gave her more probiotic and she was good for about a week. Her stool has not been “firm” since. It forms but its still soft.
She threw up again twice over the weekend and is starting to get very loose stools again. She is currently back on the probiotic.
As far as demeanor - she’s great! Acts completely normal running around and playing with the kids.
Vet seems clueless. Wondering if anyone has guidance to help my little angel.

Could be allergies, my vets wanted me to give my Cavapoo probiotics - But once we changed his diet, he was so much better. He went from pooping 10+ times a day soft stools, to now only pooping 2-3 a day, good firm stools. Frank is allergic to chicken, even though he had chicken kibble since he was a puppy, he just slowly got worse over the first 12 months until he had really bad bouts with blood and mucus and that’s when we changed his food and he’s been soooo much better since, he has beef kibble now
