I'm not familiar w/this disorder, but I do have some suggestions...I personally, WOULD NOT feed ANY dry food to your dog...It's much harder to digest!!!

Use your Royal Canin Intestional Diet...You said you bought 12 cans....The canned is perfect and is made to do what you need at this point......

You can change food at a later time, but for now, use the RC. You will need to feed it for a month or 2.....

I also would add 1 teaspoon of canned pumpkin to each meal....You want pure, canned pumpkin from the grocery store.....

Do not continue to switch foods.....The stools you are describing can be as simple as too many food changes without slow introduction of each...Stick w/only the RC and pumpkin and see if you get better results......Karla

Sorry to hear about you been sick are you beter now? He just woke up coughing. I think it may be kennel cough from the hospital stay I'm steaming him now in the bathroom with exaluptus oil. I'm so scared about his interior wounds at operation site. So this was propebly it not an allergie. I just hope he is going to pull through this he has not even properly heal from the operation and now this.
