Hi everyone,
We could really use some input from anyone who my have experienced a similar health issue with their dog/dogs. Cooper, our 2-year old Spoo has had stomach issues resulting in chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and general nervousness. Here are the fast facts about his health:
In the meantime, we were given Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein food, and told to mix with a bit of powdered fiber. We will get the results of the first two tests in a few days. If they are both normal, which of the three tests would you recommend, or should we do all of them? Has any one else experienced something similar with their standard poodle? We are doing everything in our power to help him feel better.
