Thank you for your prompt responses. They are 3 months old.

They treated the Giardia with Safeguard so it should have eliminated any worm load as well, and they were done again after they were moved. Our winters are cold enough that we don't have a problem with heartworm.

I had her feeding them yogurt to replenish any intestinal flora that might have been inadvertently destroyed.

First I want to let you know that these are neither my dogs nor my puppies, and that I do not necessarily agree with the practices/ philosophies of the person who did the breeding. Having said this there are 5, 3month old puppies who are not thriving and how/ why they got here is not the important thing right at the moment.

They were born on a farm in the mountains just before the farm was effected by flooding. They did get Giardia and were treated for it at about 6 weeks. Four different vets have checked these puppies and other than the Giardia could not find any medical problem. The breeder has since moved so the source of contamination is removed.

The breeder has been feeding Eucanuba (sp?) large breed puppy suplimented with hamburger and rice. The puppies have soft stool constantly. They are thin and not growing. If anyone has any idea what might be going on with these Mastiff puppies I would certainly be greatful.

I have a real soft spot for the big guys, and have a Rottie, a Pyr cross and an Akbash here along with the Pomeranians that I breed. The big guys are all throwaways >:(, 4, 8 and 9 years.
