Answer
Hello Pat,

Have you changed foods lately?
You should consult with your vet about this as it may be something more than just a temporary digestive problem.

The food is very important, you will want to feed him a healthy diet to prolong his life.  German Shepherds are pone to digestive issues and adding a supplement is a wise thing to do as well.  Email me and I can give you an order code to save on supplements.
