Hi all, I hope you are well!
Ziggy arrived safely! He has an appointment with our local vet on Saturday for introductions, diet discussion, worming, booster needle etc.
While still not putting on as much weight as I would like, he is 'doing okay' on:
1 x Creon 10,000 5 mins before meals.
1/2 Cup of the grain-free, Natures Goodness Puppy kibble (soaked) (3% crude fibre)
1/2 Cup of Advance Puppy Chicken & Rice
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
I have FINALLY been able to find out from Advance (because it is not on the label) that it contains "no more than 5% crude fibre" which is, of course, not ideal and I am hoping to switch Ziggy from this but still giving him a chance to settle before trying to make any changes.
So, in the cooler evening and morning, Ziggy's poops are pretty good, not a dark brown but pick-up-able and a 3 on the poop chart; however, during the heat of the day (which can be brutal in FNQ with humidity on top of that) his afternoon poop is a 6.
As his 3 meals a day and Creon dose is the same, could this be related to the heat?
Thanking you in advance!
