Rinny Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Just want to say a big THANK YOU for the info on this site. I got my Sibe boy in January and he has always had really loose stools, the breeder I got him from said it was completely normal for Husky's to be runny and as I have always had Great Danes I trusted her to start with but he started getting looser and looser until I was having to get up at 2am every morning just to clean his cage. Trips to the vets found nothing wrong, test after test for parasites came back clear, food allergies tested for and clear, tried every diet the vet suggested and still nothing helped....until I found this site. After reading a post on here I realized everyone was telling me to over feed him, the breeder inc! I have now reduced the amount of food he has by nearly half and he is a much happier dog and I can finally clean up after him without having to use a spade. So thank you all xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Great news, ice was very runny too when he was little, huskies do seem to have very sensitive stomachs although not all of them. A lot of them do well with grain free food and like you discovered yourself to feed slightly less than the recommended amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carly Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yeah I think we've all learned the over feeds thing the hard way at some point or other lol, glad you've got things stabilised, great to be able to actually pick up poop instead of scooping it up isn't it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulG Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 most dog foods if you follow the weight guides will have you over feeding dogs, but that said some dogs will do ok on a handful of food others need more its always a case of seeing what an individual dog is like. old rule of thumb guide that seems to be right is you should be able to feel and just see last three ribs of the dog of you cant feel them they are over weight if you can feel more under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raising Atlas Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yes! I needed to read this. Atlas has gone runny since I up'd his meal amount and I didn't understand why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Loki was like this (and still does have it very frequently). When I got him from the breeder he was on purely dry food and it really didn't seem to sit well for him. Well, now he has almost stopped eating completely and it's a bit less frequent. Huskies are just strange dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
