absolutely. i am on a constant rollarcoster with food. mine were doing great on the totw but when i did the research i did what was right for us. we're now doing evo herring n salmon and one on healthwise chicken n brn rice (vs the potato). i'm assuming u wanted the link for the nzymes supplement....it is

they are a plethora of info on the subject i have been reading on and off for a week.

I'm feeding TOTW wetlands. Two bullies are doing great and two are yeasty.

But I am more inclined to believe it's the food. I am the wrong person to recommend a food. The last time I bragged about how well my dog's were doing on a food, the very next week they all got sick with diarhea and it cost me almost $400 at the Vet's. Now, it may have just been a "bad sack" but I changed food just in case.

Jacinda - that is an interesting point. I really hadn't even noticed a wording change on the bag (I just know it has orange coloring on it). He is about halfway through this one. I'll check into it. Any other better food recommendations?

On another note, we thought of this last night... could it be that our water filter on our fridge needs changing? We aren't tasting any difference, but I know that water can cause the stains. Maybe that could be it?

I'm trying TOTW again.

i hope that the totw you're going to try again is not the pacific stream. the ethoxyquin issue is still unresolved as to the fish supplier. imho of course why take chances. that said the food rep i was speaking with at the bully beauty contest said they were finding more and more links between potato (sweet or white) and yeast. so it could very well be a potato issue. he gave me a great link to a supplement that deals specifically with yeast.

Hmm makes me wonder if that is why Mason has just recently gotten yeast problems because they added more sweet potatoes in it. I'm hearing more and more people having issues with natural balance now specifically the fish and sweet potato.

After all, it's now Sweet potato and fish not Fish and sweet potato.

the evo is good so far. stool is firm and no digestive issues. i like the ingredients. my boy is on the healthwise (its made by the evo people) he's 7 months. i'll be switching him soon to adult. my girl had lots of orthopedic problems (she'll be 2). i'm erring on the side of caution and growing him slow, with a lower protein count. healthwise does have a chicken and oatmeal food for adults. i am also looking into
GO Natural, Salmon n Oatmeal for the boy when i switch him. he seems to do better with a lower protein not so rich food. they get a raw dinner.

two of mine have shooting water out of their butts, and then one of them threw up their entire breakfast., That's the one with the worse diahrea

Kab - how do you like these 2 foods? I hadn't heard of these brands, but I can buy some nearby. I am willing to try a switch to one of these, though it looks like the HealthWise Chicken Meal & Brown Rice is for puppies (and Butler is 16 months).

We are going to get off the potatoes just in case that is it.

Thank you -- Jody

That's really interesting. I too am having trouble with NB.

I was feeding potato and duck, then switched to sweet potato and fish. Still have yeast. That could explain why. That, and the change in formula. The food looks different now....definitely more sweet potato in it.

If nothing has changed, it could be a blocked tear duct.
