While at the shelter and when we picked her up, Skye had diarrhea. Not real bad, but definitely not what we wanted. The dog food she was fed at the shelter happened to be the same we feed our other dogs. We decided to get a small bag of commercial dog food, the brand of which I don't recall. Voila, problem resolved - until it restarted - only to find out she'd been given some chicken with broth, or the original dog food again...hm...the original dog food is chicken based.We experimented for a couple of weeks and concluded, at least for now, that chicken was not the food of choice for our big puppy-girl. She is now getting a lamb based dry food and a can of moist , an occasional beef bone and a hot dog (as many little treats during the day) - and so far so good.
By the way, we thought she was so good in the car, we thought to take her with us on errands...until she threw up. Not that Skye ever complained - other than not really wanting to go into the van in the first place. We figured the reason she was so non-problematic in the car was that she felt nauseous, so now we don't take her "just for fun" anymore.I am planning on short "get used to the car ride" trips for her in the future.
