I would never ever give a smaller bone though, eg chicken, despite the current interest in the raw diet.
Be careful, my dog has a pretty good constitution, but marrow bones upset his tum.
Use the Pro Kolin to settle the tum
Just leave all extras out for the time being, get him settled on a food, then when you do add treats, do it one at a time and you will then know what he is ok with

OK will do!

Have to get something for him to chew though, I have just stopped him ripping the hell out of the Argos catalogue.

Just had another couple of very runny pale brown poos, but no more blood.

Our Chessie loves this, and it's quite soft for little teeth and gums

Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

The chicken and rice has made him looser than ever before. This morning he did a puddle of caramac coloured liquid. I am loathe to carry on with the chicken and rice. No blood or pus though. He had scrambled egg for his breakfast which he has had before and tolerated well. Im still on poop watch though. I didnt think there were so many ways to describe doggy poop.

Mine can't tolerate chicken, try white fish instead

Stellabelly is on a distinguished road
Re: Loose bowel movements streaked with blood and mucous

Stella suffered with this mid-October along with sickness and had blood test etc which all came back fine so they were a bit stumped. She was given pro-kaolin and it made her sick and anti-nausea tablets and anti-biotics. She was given a prescription diet as they decided it could be IBS.

She has been fine until yesterday when she got bloody diarrhoea and sickness again. I am wondering if it's stress because we've been having our patio done and she spnet most of Thursday barking at the guy and got really worked up.

She's 2 1/2 and doesn't normally suffer tummy upsets.

Having been in animal husbandry most of my life, I can guarantee that one of the main triggers of diarrhea is stress

Dr Chew does chews made from sweet potato dried hard, no additives or preservatives. They come in a resealable 454g bag, for a pup you will want the small or petite size (petite is smaller pieces) depending on size/breed of dog. My adult dog and pup love them, and as they are just dried sweet potato I had a bit of one myself - and very nice it was too!
