now diarrhea...TMI

[Pam & Trixie]

its like a never ending story.

When I got Trixie 11 days ago ...she was going frequently & I asked about that...Some stools were a little loose.  but nothing too bad.

 

Then her stools firmed up & she started going less...And also started getting distracted & not going when she had to.

 

Today she started the day with 2 firm poops.

This afternoon I smelled a fart & decided she must have to go...She was sleeping.  I actually woke her up- carried her outside.  Put her down & all poop let loose!   diarrhea.

She went again.  I gave her more time..Seemed like she was done.

Brought her in & she started crying 5 minutes later...brought her out...Nothing.

 

My daughter came over about 30 minutes later.

She let Trixie out & she peed.

We were upstairs ...Trixie walked away from us & it just started dropping out of her!

I picked her up & ran her outside...But she didnt have to go anymore.

 

She is on the same food she was on at the Breeders.

She has a Bully stick that she has had for 1 week.  She gets to chew it 1-2 times a day for 15 minutes ( I wont give that to her for now)

I gave her deworming meds on Saturday...Could that give her diarrhea this many days later?

 

So.

What do I do? 

What would you suggest I feed her tonight...Or skip dinner? : (

I know she needs to drink water.

 

Tips for cleaning up carpet? 

 

 

Thanks

Bully sticks and pigs ears are good use of animal by products, but maybe not a good choice for a puppy's delicate system.  I find that any unusual food item can cause loose stools in my puppy.  He loves human food, but gets very little of that too.  The best thing for puppies is puppy chow and only puppy chow.  As they get older, you can put in a little something once in a while as a treat, and see how it goes down.  My puppy even reacts to Frosty Paws which should be pretty innocent if you look at the ingredients.  One thing that my puppy can eat is the duck jerky.  He gets one in the morning for bringing in the newspaper and that has never bothered him.  He won't give us the newspaper until the jerky is in our other hand.  Funny how quickly they learn that a treat is due.
