Low residue food

Hi all,

Recently, Biba was sick in 2 different ways (fluid in lungs and constant diarrhea) and took 2 rounds of antibiotics (amoxycillin, followed by metronidazale, followed by panacur + probiotic -fortiflora). She got stool and blood tests and they were all negative. So the vets hypothesis was that some food induced diarrhea was made worse by the amoxycillin.

After the panacur didn't work, the vet put her on Iams Low Residue and Prostora (different probiotic). Almost instantly, her diarrhea got better and she has really formed poop since the last 5-7 days.

However, I was going through all the ingredients in it and Iams Low Residue has corn and Ethoxyquin in it. Iams, the company says that Ethoxyquin is not harmful at low levels. I feel a bit uncertain about that. In any case, the vet is recommending keeping her on the Iams for the next 2 months or so. I would really like to look for a better low residue food and would appreciate any reccos from other people in similar situations. When I search for 'low residue', I keep getting Purina and Iams results.

Reccos and general suggestions will be greatly appreciated. As always, thank you for your help and interest in all our doggy problems.

Thanks!!
