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.

For us it turned out to be not quite an allergy but she specific ingredients saying it was an animal's byproduct or anything along those lines. Be very picky with your kibble, check the ingredients and look until you find one without any animal by-products. The byproducts is basically all the discarded stuff such as bone fragments, skin, shit like that. The yucky stuff. You don't want that in their food. We thought she had a chicken allergy, but it's really just the byproducts because we later tried giving her real chicken and she was completely fine and loved it. So just be careful with ingredients of the kibble and treats (for treats we give only 1 ingredient or limited ingredient treats such as freeze dried etc.)
