| Too Many Poops/loose Permanent Tooth I checked with the Vet about Missy, 12 weeks old, having 7-8 poops a day. He said to give her 1cc Pepto Bismo twice a day for a couple days & that should straighten out her intestines. I also told Vet Missy has not been eating breakfast for past 3-4 mornings. I asked if this is a sign she doesn't need it & to go to twice a day feedings even only at 12 weeks? He said yes it would be fine as I told him she will eat 1/4 cup Chicken Soup at a time. Also, took Muffie, 10-1/2 year old, to Vet this morning. We had to schedule her for dental cleaning on 1/30 (really backed up from holidays). During dental cleaning, they'll check her for any loose permanent teeth & pull them then. He also said we could just mix a little baking soda & salt & rub over their teeth if we don't want to use toothpaste. He said they can swallow it - won't hurt them. Gee whiz, 4 birds with 1 stone here! haha LOL HAPPY NEW YEAR!

| Wow, you sure got alot handled...Glad to hear about the dental cleaning for Muffin. Even if they pull bad teeth she will feel much better. Did the vet suggest leaving down dry food so your little ones go free feed?

| No, he didn't say anything about free feeding yet. Before we got little Missy, Muffie used to free feed all the time. But with the puppy, we can't do that so we feed Muffie a full serving at noon and a lite snack at night per the Vet. Missy is only 12 weeks old. Isn't that a little early to be free feeding? Besides, she's pooping TOO many times every day. We just gave her 1cc of Pepto Bismo when we got home from the vet. Will do that a couple times a day today & tomorrow! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
