Was she wormed just before you got her? Could be that. Unlikely to be the JWB as its a good brand but what was she fed before she came to you? Perhaps a change has upset her stomach...

Mine are fed on JWB its a good food  :luv: I would stick with the food for now, its unlikely to be too rich.
 Mine have been on it for 12 years and its fab  :blink:
If she is really bad give her rice and cooked chicken for 24 hours just small amounts or
You could try boiling alittle rice and adding to her food  :blink:
Has she been wormed regularly ?
Hope she is better soon

Charlie had a tough of this just after he arrived with us.  The breeder recommended a couple of days on rice and chicken only then back to normal food.  Worked a treat - solids.

Probably a combination of worming and the food change then. JWB is definitely better than wagg so i'd maybe give chicken and rice for a day or so then reintroduce the JWB.

I agree that JWB is a good food, but my Barney could not have it, we persevered for nearly 2 months but in the end we had to change his food

Fingers crossed!!! Did the breeded give you some food for you to ween Ruby off from? Or did you go straight onto JWB??

My breeder gave me 2 weeks worth to Ween, although Alfie had terrible runny poo's, even milkshake like puddles! I was really worried...so i phoned up breeder and asked for advice, he said it could be being unsettled and nervy (even though he seems fine!) we gave him Chicken and rice until things firmed up and went vets for injection, told he had to wait until tummy was not upset anymore.
Then things were fine, we have been on Royal canin since. We have weened on and off JWB, although they loved the food, the royal canin suited there tummies better, and much firmer ppo's. Each pup is different but Royal Canin (vetinary kind) comes with a guarantee that your pup wont suffer kidney stones (or gall) cant remember and their coats were nicer on Royal Canin. So many ppl have different opinions and each suit there own dog in different ways. However, keep us up dated on Ruby xxxx

Could you possibly be over feeding her, I've noticed if my pups pig out they get runny poops. Feed 4 smaller portions and see how she goes. Also try adding a bit of slippery elm powder as that is good for binding them up. If putting on dry food mix to a paste with something, ie water or egg yolk and pour over and mix into dry food.
If she has got a bit of blood keep an eye on her as you obviously are doing and ring vets for their professional advice if it continues, may be just straining or a touch of colitis starting.

could be the worming - we've been having problems with runny poos since Dax was wormed at the end of June - vet job with pills settled it for a while but he is a bit loose today again  :-\ so he could have been munchin on plants when with my oh  ::) natural yoghurt is good as well for settling tums  ;)
