    I got a new 8 week Bichon exactly a week ago today his poo has been diarrhea nearly every day I changed him to a good dog food as breeder had him on pedigree puppy and I was told it was rubbish then after a few days he would no longer eat the good stuff so had to put him back on the pedigree which he eat every bit of?!!

    I brought him to the vet last Tuesday for his second vac and he wormed him as well would this be the cause of his still constant diarrhea? I noticed he vomited earlier and barely touched his food today. Otherwise he's very happy and playful. Should I bring him to the vet again? Or is this normal behavior?

    If there is constant diarrhea then there is a danger of dehydration and to be honest you should consider bringing him to the vet. The worm treatment could cause these symptoms but I don't think it should last this long.

    I'm really worried now the poo just squirts out like a jet! But this morning it wasn't as bad. He's drinking plenty tho? Ill defo bring him the vet first thing!

    change of food will cause it and also the worming... if the pup has vomiting and diarrhea at the same time, you need to being it to the vets, they get dehydrated so quickly

    Don't just take him off the food straight away.
    Half and half then work onto the better food
