So a few weeks ago Nala's stool turned into straight liquid and were full of muccus, and she wasn't able to hold it very well (what a mess :uhoh2. So we took her to the vet, who informed us she had colitis. He gave us some pills for her to take, and recomended we feed her 1 part white rice to 3 parts ground turkey for 5 days. We did this and the liquid stools cleared up. Then, on Monday (roughly 1.5 weeks later) they started again. Took her back to the vet, got more medicine, and she's back on rice and turkey.
I guess I have two questions.
1. Is it common for Newf puppies to get this? The vet assured us that puppies get it all the time, but from talking to others who have had puppies, and with my own expirience with my rottweiller when she was a puppy, it doesn't seem that common.
2. Is it the pills that help or the rice and turkey? I ask this because at $90+ per vet visit, I'd like to not have to take her back if she gets it again, and just feed her rice and turkey.
