Why does my dog have loose stool for months, even with good appetite?

Question

Max has had loose stool(like mud) for several months. I feed him dry cereal(OL Roy) and his appetite is good. He is kennel kept in a large area. I also have a female in a different area but she doesn't have loose stool. What's goin on with max? Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Male | unneutered | 130 lbs

Max may have chronic diarrhea related to several issues including GI parasites, food sensitivities, or internal medical issues like inflammatory bowel disease. I'd recommend having him examined by your veterinarian and having a stool sample checked out. It would also be a good idea to try a higher quality food like Royal Canin Sensitive stomach. You can also feed a bland diet of boiled chicken and sweet potato or rice for a couple days to see if this helps. Often times a good sensitivity will develop later in life so Max may need a diet change to resolve the issue. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope the issue resolves for Max quickly!
