he has been dewormed with: drontel, strongid, and now i have to pick up the panacur... the stool samples all came back clean the last 2 times, but because his poop is still soft serve the vet is thinking that there are still some worms hiding that i cant see ... he had roundworms when i first got him home, those i saw.. he had regular poop for 2 days with me, and thats it.. its been soft serve since.. i am thinking he is reinfecting himself by eating the grass.. but he doesnt eat the grass where he poops though, he eats the grass on the opposite side of the yard.... every fecal i bring in shows negative.. yet he cant give a solid poop ..... i am feeding him california natural chicken and rice with acidophilus powder and syn flex for his ankle and a sprig of salmon oil ( 3 drops ) in his food.. he gets no treats except natural ones, and doesnt eat toys or anything ...

i was thinking maybe the CA natural is too rich for him.. maybe the canidae might be better??

Good advice, Katie -- most vets don't think to look for it. My guys saw three different vets before the fourth vet diagnosed it properly.

My vet checked for it b/c Nisha was only about 4-5 months old when she came down with it...it's apparently common in pups....but she had soft serve/diarrhea for weeks...covered by mucous...they had exhausted all other things (coccidia, giordia, worms, etc)....They looked for clostridia, and her poop was apparently OVERRUN with it....they put her on 2 extra-strength flagyl per day for 14 days....and on a sensitive stomach diet....
