Hi,
My 6 months old golden retriever has digestive issues pretty much since I got her. The symptoms are loose stools and abundant flatulence (very very smelly). I should also mention that she's been treated for a parasite when she was 4 months old.
I've tried many different brands : Carnilove, Acana, Orijen and True Instinct. Nothing seemed to do the trick.
For over 2 months she's been eating tails.com and it seems to be a bit better. She has healthy poo but still farts constantly. Anyway, tails.com deliveries have been delayed and I had to find something to replace it in the meantime. I bought a bag of Orijen puppy and tried to do a very slow transition with what I had left of tails.com.
Now it's back to the way it was 2 months ago, smelly farts and loose stools. She seems to be always craving food but other than that she's completely healthy.
She weighs 20kg which I think should be ideal for a 6 months old female golden retriever.
I'm thinking about taking her back to the vet but since she has already been treated for parasites I'm not sure what else it could be.
Any help would be very appreciated
Thanks!

Has your puppy been rechecked for parasites recently? Sometimes the treatments need reapplication and your vet is the best source for information. There are also other causes for digestive issues, but I am not a vet. ie: IBS

Deworming is not only a single treatment but a full course of meds over weeks of time. Sometimes the adults are killed, but not the eggs which hatch and cause the trouble to come back
