Changing stool - confusing time!

To explain it a little better - I can see his ribs but his stomach seems like it's hanging, like he's overfull. That's where the confusion is. Is this more of an exercise thing?

I know its a long thread, but just the last couple pages should tell you that she's switched to raw and he's no longer got loose stool.

It could be. I bet he's got more energy now that he's getting good food!

Oh most definitely! He's got a truck load of energy.... from about 11 pm to 2 am!

Sleeps and eats all day, wants to play at night! What a doof! It's very sunny, and hence hot outside, so he prefers sleeping near his water bowl or in the bathroom all day :D

I only use filtered water with him, which is treated for everything I can think of. We all use the same water at home.

Stomach is now settled, since I've started him on raw. Thanks for checking up :D

Yayyyyyy!

Can't believe how much he's grown! It seems like yesterday when he was just about 3 pounds!

Mystic was 35 at 12 weeks. Now that he is finally eating good he will probably start packing it on.

Brought home some beef today to freeze for next week. Best way to introduce it? A little in each meal or one meal only of beef?

How long has he been eating chicken? It's best to wait at least 2-4 weeks before introducing new meat in my opinion. To introduce new meat, give it to them as a meal.

If he's nice and solid still (and over the runs from the worm pill?) go ahead and add a small cube (like 1 inch) to his meals and see if he's ok for a couple days, if so then add more.

Been on chicken since a week and a half now, will be another week before he gets his first beef hit next Sunday. I wanted to try another meat to see if it helps with the gas.

Over the runs in the morning! Poo was good and well formed, though still a little slimy (from the worm pills I suppose). He's not gone since (yay!), but is showing signs now. :)
