I believe I answered your other question (https://www.petcoach.co/question/?id=319778), but please allow me to reiterate. I'm sorry to hear that Gypsy has had so much soft stool. She may have developed gastroenteritis from a diet change or new treats, parasites, intestinal virus, among other issues. Try withholding food for 12 hours, then you can try feeding her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice (3 cups per day, divided into 3-4 smaller meals) for a few days. After that time, gradually mix her puppy food with the bland diet over another 5-7 days. If the soft stool worsens, or if Gypsy begins to vomit, become lethargic, or stops eating, she will need to go to her vet for further evaluation. I hope that she feels better soon!
