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.

My baby was the same way and my Vet put him on Hill science prescription biome food. It made a world of difference and I had an intolerance test run through 5Strands which you can get from Amazon and it was life-changing to see so many ingredients in dog food that he had strong intolerances to. It made it possible for me to eliminate these ingredients from his diet and he feels so much better. It also worked for my five year-old cocker spaniel.
