    I agree with xxryu149xx....add some chicken broth to the kibble. Also, before you add the broth, try putting some cheese on the kibble.....either shredded or grated. That could entice Libby to eat.

    Hmm, I thought it all seemed too good. Libby now has bloody diarrhoea :(

    The vet is sending a sample off for testing and she is on antibiotics and special digestion food. Poor little thing. I really hate her being so poorly!

    Oh poor girl I really feel for you. Sending hugs to poor Libby and to you too. Fingers crossed this time the vets get to the bottom of it all (sorry couldn't think of another word!) xx

    Oh no, poor Libby. It must be hard not knowing, I hope you get some answers soon, and she starts improving on the antibiotics and special food.

    Our Libby has had digestive problems for so long that I didn't think things would ever get better and FINALLY in the last few days, things are normal. We had to move her away from chicken based food. That is the only thing we can figure was causing her problems. She has now transitioned to Taste of the Wild Puppy Seafood and her poop has firmed up.

    How interesting! Chicken is the suggested food for dogs with v&d but I have read of a few dogs on here who can't tolerate it. I'll keep an eye on that.
    I'm so glad your Libby now has a settled tum, kindred spirits!
