My puppy has diarrhea and won't eat. Could it be chicken bones?

Question

Our 7 month Siberian Husky used to eat so fast we fed him in a maze bowl, but over the last week he hasn't been as enthusiastic about this meals (1 cup Blue Wilderness puppy food 3 x a day). He has had soft stools over the last week and and a half & some day it's pudding like. He got a new Benebone - but no other change in diet or treats... He did eat some chicken bones about 3 weeks ago but he didn't seem adversely affected in the days following that incident... Pls advise - thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | neutered | 7 months and 17 days old | 45 lbs

Poor guy. His symptoms indicate a GI upset. You can try feeding him a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese for a few days, and add in 1-2 tsp of canned pumpkin to add fiber and help solidify his stools. If he doesn’t seem to be getting better in the next 24-48 hrs, then it’s best to take him in to your local vet for some tests. He may have intestinal parasites, a viral or bacterial infection, which can be treated by your veterinarian with the appropriate medicaitons. I hope Hachi feels better soon. Best wishes and take care.
