We've recently been having a few issues with Freddy and his food. He is currently on Wainwrights which in the beginning he absolutely loved (duck being his favourite). However, recently he has been going on a food strike which for some strange reason seems to be followed by a bout of diarrhoea to which I then feed him chicken and rice until his poos firm up again and then slowly reintroduce his dry food.
I may be overreacting on this because actually it is only the third time it has happened. The first time, there was lots of blood and mucas and I rushed him to the vets in a panic. They told me it is quite normal to see this when they have gastro entiritus because it irritates the bowel. They gave me lots of expensive injections, food etc. and he got better within a few days.
The second time was about two weeks ago, I decided to treat him myself (as above) and he improved. Until this weekend, when it started again.
Anyway, (sorry this is so long winded!) I want to change his food and after reading tons of forums on the internet (including obviously this one!) I have narrowed it down to two types - James Wellbeloved or Barking Heads.
Which do you think is the better out of the two? and would anyone recommend one over the other for a sensitive tummy?
