Hello doctors/pet parents, I have a male shih tzu, 4 months old. For the first time i introduced chicken with veggies to him in small portions 2 times a day (approx 60 gms in total). On the same day i feeded quinoa (also first time) with veggies, 1 egg, kibbles etc (his daily meal plans throught out the day). Due to change in food, he had diarrhea and loose motion 5 times. I gave him pumpkin today and seems its subsided, he hasn't pooped yet. I think i might have overfed him on the day of introducing chicken. Should have done in phases and gradually. i believe quinoa (due to high fiber) might have caused the loose motion or may be chicken itself. So my question - when can i next introduce chicken to him again? Thanks.

Let this episode settle down completely, wait for a week and introduce chicken again. Start with chicken broth with shredded chicken for 2-3 days and if the pup is ok you can start increasing gradually. Don't start organ meat till 10 months of age. Chicken should be cooked properly to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Also please avoid bones completely.

DOG PEOPLE AND CAT PEOPLE, kindly turn your heads: (Bangalore adoption, dewormed and vaccinated) Littul male kitten is looking for a home with people as precious as he is. Doi is up for adoption after his mother went out to hunt and never came back(succumbed to an accident courtesy some idiot driving with his eyes closed) He brightens up any space he is in, and is an ideal addition to any home with dogs or cats. Contact us on 9739200837 to bring him home. Doi will only be adopted into a home where he enabled to be a strictly indoor cat. Which would mean the house would need to be cat proofed(pigeon netting or sealed windows are a way to go), because we don’t want him jumping out never to be found again and getting hurt. Adoption protocol will be followed.
