thanks for everyones opinions, everyone has one. my pup has eaten all the egg and it seems to be staying down. she had 2 scrambled eggs and has been drinking plenty of water. she had food this morning with her wormer as advised on the packet and it said not to feed her during the day and give her the rest of ther meals in the evening, so thats what i have done. she seems alot better already, ive just got to keep my fingers crossed!

Lots of things to be taken into account when bringing home a new pup and the one that no-one really thinks about is the change of water!!!! When we travel to shows we always use bottled water for the dogs or a jack with water drawn off our tap at home before we go.

When we send a pup to their new home we now give them some of our tap water and tell them to mix it with theirs same as if you were changing feedstuffs.

Cannot believe anybody would raise a litter of rottweilers on pedigree tinned alone it is not a complete feed!!! Hopefully babe will pick up again soon my pup that I brought home suffered for the first few days but he had a long journey, change of water, change of surroundings and most of all people he didnt know!!!

As for the wormers dont ever use one from a pet shop get down the vets and get the 'proper' wormers!!!

thanks for the advice. she also had a long journey home, about 75 miles. she was a bit stressed the first night she was home with us, but after then she is as confident as ever, very playful, comes to us when called and gives lots of cuddles. i was pretty shoked at first when they told me that she was only getting the pedigree food, i agree with you it is not a complete food. i know i should just have stuck to one feedstuff, but i was just trying to help her out. i first thought that the food was too rich for her and thought thats why she had the diarrhoea, so i switched it and still not luck. i have tried her on chicken and boiled rice, but that also when right through her. she has had a 2 egg scrambled feed and it is staying down at the moment. i will be ringing the vets tomorrow to make an appointment for a health check, vaccination schedule and feeding advice, as well as for the diarrhoea if its not any better.

i swear by a little bit of natural bio live yogurt mixed in with the dry food , i even give it to mine now and again when they have no problems, they love it!

by live yoghurt what do you mean? what is it called that you use and where do you get it from?

Live yogurt you can get from anywhere it will say natural live yogurt on the pot , but at the moment while you dont know whats the cause of the runs dont give it, as dairy can have a loosening effect on some dogs . How did she get on last night and how is she tody any more runs .

vegas enjoyed the scrambled egg last night and she seemed fine, she didnt have the runs lastnight and didnt go to the toilet for about 16 hours. she had some chicken and rice this morning and she was also fine with that. i went out and left her for about 10 minutes just to the shop and came home and she had diarrhoea again. it wasnt as runny as it was yesturday and was more yellow in colour. she had the worming tablet yesturday morning and one of the sideafects was vomiting, but she has not been sick at all. could this be stress when i left her?

hi, my pups had the runs when i got them, they were being fed on adult food, so we put them on puppy but it continued, although they didn't loose weight, now they are on the raw diet and its cleared up. When i was young and our dogs got the runs, we would go up the chemist and get a pot of arrowroot powder and put some in their food, this seemed to stop the runs if my memory serves me right after all these years when i mentioned this to the vets, they had not heard of it, so who knows maybe it does work, and it is natural after all

to be honest i think that she may have been taken away from her mother too early. she was a pick of litter as payment for stud fee, her and 2 other pups. i got to see her dad but not her mum as she belonged to someone else.
when my partner and i picked her up she had a huge round belly and she had very bad wind. she was being fed on pedigree puppy food only. i changed her diet straight away because she had the runs from day one, i know i should have changed it over time. she has only been to the toilet for number 2's once today so far, it was yellow and runny but now like yesturdays. could the scrambled egg make her poo yellow?

i would say if the poo is more yellow then it is definately gastric?
