Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. This could be diet related or a bacterial related problem in which there is not enough good bacteria in the GI tract to aid in digestion. I would consider switching the food to a hydrolyzed protein diet such as Hills Z/D or Royal Canin ultamino. I would also consider adding a probiotic such as Purina fortiflora which can be found online quite easily or at your local pet store. If this does not help I would recommend an abdominal ultrasound to help rule out other causes. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
