Hi Delia,<br />
<br />
I think you will find the chicken is too rich especially if it is for,human consumtion. Vets have forgotten that nowadays most foods consist of chicken and rice, so it is of no use if you are trying to clear up an allergic reaction to food. I have a red and a red/white, neither can manage chicken based foods the red /white has a severe reaction if given a chicken based diet. You might try lamb and rice or better still Chappie original tinned which nearly always clears up a gippy…

I think you will find the chicken is too rich especially if it is for,human consumtion. Vets have forgotten that nowadays most foods consist of chicken and rice, so it is of no use if you are trying to clear up an allergic reaction to food. I have a red and a red/white, neither can manage chicken based foods the red /white has a severe reaction if given a chicken based diet. You might try lamb and rice or better still Chappie original tinned which nearly always clears up a gippy tummy. The eating of poo depends what is bing fed, I think possibly that a lot of dogs can smell the blood in the poo before we can see it so it becomes attractive to eat. I have found James Wellbeloved lamb and rice stops this happening. Have had numerous years experience with lots of dogs.<br />

Hope this helps, not sure that i am allowed to put brand names in but these are really helpful,<br />

Yes he was tip top when you seen him yesterday .... Then I took him to my parents and he made himself at home eating the other pups food ! And no best not to try out the other eating habit Murphy has .... One man told me it tastes like steak, I changed the subject and never pursued it!

Hi Delia, took up your suggestion and joined this site. Murphy certainly didn't look unwell the other day when he was all for playing with Rosie who was being her usual grumpy self. Seems to be on the mend though.

Eating faeces is called Coprophagia. There is no known reason for dogs doing this (maybe it tastes good but I'm not going to try it to find out)

Well then, he certainly sounds like he's well given his SETTERISH behavior!! Glad to hear it. And by the way, canned pumpkin puree (about 3 tablespoons) with no pumpkin pie spices in it, of course, it a miracle cure for firming things up after eating "forbidden" food stuffs!! Best wishes, Gigi

Gigi, I think he is doing great, slight blip today though I will explain ! Yesterday he was in fine form so I decided to drive to my parents for coffee... Murphy must have misheard coffee for dinner?!?, they have a slightly older pup and do things differently from me and leave food out for him...... Not only did Murphy scoff up Shane's food he then decided to empty the bucket and have some left over tatties too ..... Shane is on a different dog food so I am putting the looseness down to that as…

Shane is on a different dog food so I am putting the looseness down to that as he has just one more day on tabs and he is on top form .... Wheras maybe my parents are recovering by now .......

I was just checking in to see how your Murphy's tummy is doing? It seems nicer to ask about his tummy rather than his bowels!! Gigi

I don't have any advice, but I wish you and Murphy all the best. I'm glad your vet is continuing to monitor his health and I hope his recovery continues.
