What data points are tracked in the brief food diary used to assess Brittany stomach health patterns?
New food introduction, stool consistency, and energy level
To move beyond vague observations like feeling 'gassy,' a structured approach to tracking digestive reactions is highly beneficial when managing a Brittany with a sensitive stomach. A brief food diary serves as a quick reference guide designed to help both the owner and the veterinarian establish concrete data points. The essential components recorded typically include the specific new food or treat introduced during a certain date range, an objective measurement of stool consistency (often using a numerical scale), and the dog's corresponding energy level. This structured observation helps quickly connect patterns of digestive upset to a specific ingredient or the speed of food ingestion, leading to faster diagnostic clarity.
