    My 10 week old Westie has had watery stools since Friday. He's eating OK. He was at the vets yesterday, he took his temp and gave him a general check up, nothing unusual.

    He said it ws most probably something he ate, this pup eats everything :D

    The vet suggested switching him to a blander food, he's on Hills puppy food. Anything I can give him to help him pass out whatever he has eaten? What would be a good alternative food to put him on?

    He was wormed yesterday/given his boosters.

    Something bland would be if you boiled some chicken & rice for a few days. Do this until the stools get better.

    Also it might be possible that Hills doesn't agree with your pup.

    He was eating it for a week and a half without any bother!

    Oh, OK.

    I have mine on Burns chicken & brown rice. They are doing well on it and their stools are good. Burns would be pretty bland food - 60% rice, 20% chicken.

    If he was on Hills previously and had no problems, its very likely that he ate something that he shouldnt have. It should pass. Keep him on boiled chicken and rice/pasta for 3-4 days and then gradually re introduce him to hills.
