Soft Puppy Stools

Puppies are 6 weeks old and stools are soft. De-worming started at 4 weeks and just again de-wormed them at 6 weeks. Any suggestions on how to firm up the stools. I'm feeding PP Puppy Large Breed.

Have you taken a stool sample into the vet? I had giardia come up here for the first time a few weeks ago. It turned ugly fast!

Re: Soft Puppy Stools

My recent litter was fed PP Puppy food. Stools were soft and way too smelly. I switched them to Iams Original puppy food and the stool issue resolved. I dewormed multiple times, but also found at 8wks they still had round worms. So, gave another course of deworming before they were released to owners.

If stool samples are clear for giardia or coccidia, etc. try Bene-bac for 3-5 days. Or switch food.

Re: Soft Puppy Stools

You should check for giardia and also use some pumpkin in their food - that might help
