Got a problem with Buddy, 1 day he is fine and his poo's are solid and normal, next day he's loose then next day back to normal its been like this for the last week! It's weird, he's not had owt different and I've not changed his food. Is it time for a trip to the vets or is it because he's exploring and always getting caught chewing summet in garden?

Re: Advice
Since you haven't changed his food it's probally something he is eating outside. As long as the problem isn't consistant I don't think he needs a vet. You should try to discourage him eating things outside though.

Re: Advice
Normally he's got free rain of the garden and he stays on the decking part but recently started foraging in the raised bed bit so I've started closing the back door! He's on Autarky puppy/junior and has been fine from 7 weeks upto now 13 week tomorrow. What sort of things will upset His stomach in the garden obviously I know about slugs and Lungworm but what else could be causing this?

Re: Advice
Callie got both Giardia and Cryptosporidium...vet thought from deer poo or from sneaking drinks out of the birdbath. I agree wtih jstaff, you'd think it would be more consistent, but I think if it doesn't improve as he gets used to the food you might ask your vet about checking a stool sample.
