Good evening, I have a 4 month old french bulldog named Coby. He has soft poop/diarrhea problem since we got him four weeks ago. His poop was soft and thin when we first got him. He was feeding royal canin medium puppy food. A week later his poop got even softer and had mucus in it. We then switch to IAMs puppy food and the problem is still there. A few days after we switch the food, his poop had a little bit blood in it. So we took the poop sample to see the Vet. The Vet check Coby said the temperature is ok, and gave us dewormer and metronidazole. Coby had dewormer and metronidazole after that, and it did not help. A few days later, the facal sample result is out, the vet said is ok. He just gave us some dog vitamin and progut plus. The progut did help a little, but after we stop, the diarrhea came back again. I talked to a lady works at shelter, she recommended feed coby rice for few day and gradually move to raw food. Coby's poop was ok when he eating rice, but couple days ago when we stop the rice, the diarrhea came back.
I don't want to go back to the vet, cause he just keep push me to buy his special royal canin dog food. I talked to one of my coworker who has a french bulldog. He said his dog had the same problem unitl 2 years old. Is this a common problem for french bulldog? Can I do anything to stop it? Any ideas will be welcome.
