After a severe bout of diaorrhea Sam, who is a german pointer. Was put on rice and chicken on the vets advice. Along with the pro-kolin this seemed to have settled his tummy. However yesterday I let him have some of the original dried food he'd been on..not much just a few pieces. By yesterday evening I had a hyperactive and extremely itchy dog who took ages to settle to sleep. Because my daughter had food intolerances which triggered the same type of hyperactivity .. Heedless over excited tense and agressive, I immediately suspected that the food was most likely the culprit.
There had been no gluten in his diet for at least two days so it's possible that it's reintroduction triggered this reaction. I've given him some piriton but it's not helping much at the moment. Poor lad does not know which bit to scratch first. He's also been put on antibiotics as a just in case measure until his poo samples results get back. He'd been on the antibiotics for two days without itching so I'm hoping that it is not these that are the issue.
Anyhow did a search to see what Google found and the following article made sense ; http://www.caninetrainingessentials.com/images/Diet.pdf
Has anyone else experienced this with their dog?
Thank you for reading.. Off to try to calm MR itchy
