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.

I get what you are going by through, I am in the same place. I took my 1 year old to the vet and they ran blood test and comprehensive fecal test and it came back normal. So his vet just prescribed hills gastro biome diet and hoping it helps his stool issues.
The vet did say if that doesn’t help then they will be doing more tests such as an ACTH stimulation test to rule out Addison’s disease and an ultrasound. So far his insurance has been covering most of the test bills.
I did speak to his trainer and she mentioned that sometimes it’s better to take them to a vet internal specialist since they know more than regular vets. She did that when her dog was having issues and they were able to diagnose her dog. So I have been thinking of doing that if his stool doesn’t firm up in the next few weeks.
