Scientific diet for stomach and sensitive skin. Chicken recipe. It works really well for my chihuahua, sometimes it runs as long as I don’t feed it and as long as it’s on a scientific diet it won’t run.

Our vet recommends rinsing the rice with water until her stomach calms down, then adding the whole pumpkin (not the pumpkin pie mix) to the rice. You can add shredded chicken after a day. I would still call your vet because I’m not a vet and don’t want to speak for your vet. This is what works for my girl and she absolutely loves pumpkins.

My Chihuahua eats dog food very well. If he has a stomach ache, I’ll give him some snacks. Usually not much by the end of the day he’ll be better. I had several other dogs for whom I had to give Scientific Diet IDs to them. Then after talking to a lot of people. I said to try Duck health care. I switched him to that and never had another problem. Most of my dogs that I give this to have never had stomach ailments. This is when Old Mother Hubit owns Wellness.

Yeah cook some white rice and some bland chicken. Tear the chicken and add to the rice. Give the Chihuahua a little of each. And for a teaspoon of canned pumpkin puree. Things that really aren’t meant for pies. Do it for days and it will help. That’s what I do for my dog

My Chihuahua is white…. All the people I’ve ever met were white people with diarrhea problems…. It turned out to be a grain allergy…. The only thing that keeps her regular is semi-instinctive raw beef and Biome hill wagon

You may need to incorporate a bioproducts into your diet. One of me also had a problem and I got this probiotic from Amazon. I literally crushed it up and mixed it in all 4 of my baby Lil’s dishes! It really helped!

My child has a very sensitive stomach due to several abdominal surgeries. Switch him to Royal Canin Low Fat HOLD and work great. He still has it all the time. Rice and boiled chicken or ground beef are great and he loves it. Also, always have a Metronidazole prescription on hand. That usually wipes it out in a day!

Have her blood tested, it’s quite expensive but it’s worth a try, my daughter has had 2 out of her 5 small dogs have the same problem. Poor intolerance to certain proteins and grains… these are on the plate of raw frozen turkey. She prepares them the day before, about 45 grams in the morning and in the evening as well. Her dosage is about 3 pounds.

Your veterinarian should diagnose this, take a stool sample, and examine it immediately. My Chihuahua had colitis once and was very ill. He is on Royal Canin low fat digestive tract and forti flora once per day.

We buy word, they sell to small pet stores not box stores, we use it for dogs and cats and they did a great job with it. We have a cat who vomits everything and this brand doesn’t, unless she raves about it because she loves it
