Ruby has had diarrhea and generally loose and mucus poop for almost 3 wks. We took her to the vet and she got a shot and some medicine which kind of started to clear her up. Unfortunately she hurt her leg jumping out of the car and we had to bring her back to the vet who gave her an an anti inflamation shot and some anti inflamatory medicine. The vet said it could upset her stomach and she started back with the loose mucus poop. The vet said to stop the anti inflamatory meds if she wasn't limping and give her rice and chicken again. This really didn't help much. I had recently switched kibble from Purina healthy weight mgmt to Purina One healty weight mgmt kibble because it had better ingredients and I had gradually weaned her onto the new food. But even during the weaning process her poops were a little looser but not much and got worse as she was fully onto Purina One.

The last couple of days I decided to give her her old Purina with the corn garbage as the main filler and she is back to normal. We have always supplimented her food with chicken to make up for the corn filler and gave her daily vitamins so I am not that concerned that she isn't getting good food. But my guess is that there is something in Purina One that does not agree with her system. Could this be correct?
