Getting recurring stomach infections
In the last one month my dog has been getting recurring stomach infection. Before this started ,she would eat Pedigree gravy (4 packets) and egg rice every day.
Infection happened due to overfeeding.
Now her diet has been reduced to Vet Pro Gastro food(half cup) four times a day and milk ( 4 tablespoons) twice a day. But today again she excreted some watery liquid after passing the stools. She is otherwise active but feels hungry every 4 hours as a result of which she tends to overfeed. But now her diet has been limited to gastro food .She is 15 years old. Her blood tests were also normal except for SGPT which was 113 (done 2 weeks back). Please suggest.

Geriatric pets tend to have very sensitive GI tracts. It is very common for them to have recurrent GI tract infections / issues. Kindly do a stool test once to rule out any GI tract infection.

Geriatric pets tend to have issues digesting food well. Get her diet carefully curated with feeds catering to geriatric dogs. Along with prebiotics and multivitamins would help. You may include banana apple or watermelon as treats in between meals.
