concerned about her stool

[OntarioSheltie]

My vet says white rice over brown when doing chicken and rice. I would take puppy and fecal to vet tomorrow. They can get dehydrated quickly.

Yes, my vet says the same thing. White rice is more constipating than brown, which contains more fiber.

Hope she's feeling better soon.

ok now i'm worried. she's pooping wet..diarrhea looking poop...i've been giving her nutrisource puppy food (got it from her breeder), freezed dried liver, some other dry treats, and some soft chew treats...I gave it to her when I got her starting Tue/Wed/Thur, but Fri, and today (Sat), her stool has been wet and loose. Is it the water? I know she doesn't pee a lot, but doesn't make much sense to me that her water becomes part of her stool. She also came in from an airplane on Tuesday, and her puppy contract said diarrhea will be normal, but why?

too much variety for a little pup.. I would stick with the food and cut out the treats, especially the liver.. its not that she is drinking too much water. Poor little thing is stressed out from the flight and leaving home and needs to settle in.. lots of love and quiet words..

Agree with everyone here. Really cut back on the treats until you are ready to start training. There is no need.

Even at that, when I was training, I would cut chicken Zukes up into quarters (yes, quarters!). Each piece was less than 1/4". I did not want pup to fill up on treats and ignore the food that would stabilize the digestion.
