| Is Miley okay?! Miley has been very...not herself today. I thought it was because my mom went to Texas for work and Miley normally plays with her when I'm at work. I tried playing with Miley and she wasn't having it. She's been asleep all day and I woke her up to groom her and there was poop hanging from her bum. I pulled it out and I guess my question is, is she constipated? She is on medication for a UTI that she has.

| She could be constipated from the meds. Is she eating and drinking?

| It wouldn't hurt to just give her a little mineral oil drizzled over her food and rub some on her bum. Just in case. Praying she feels better soon, but keep an eye on her ok? If she is still acting out of sorts tomorrow, you may want to mention it to the vet - maybe a reaction the the UTI meds.

| Her poops are getting back to "normal" I think. I'm not sure what normal dog poop is supposed to look like haha. It's definitely solid but the poop she had today while i was at work looks almost black. Is this normal?

| thank you! and yes the breeder wants me to get her stools tested because her brothers have giardia? I'm not sure what that is or what it does but I've been trying to get her poop to the vet ASAP!

| Giardia is a parasitic microorganism that causes intestinal problems, but by all means get her tested and let us know how it turns out. |

| They can get that giardia so easily especially if a litter mate had it so I definitely get the stool checked. Giardia is alot easier to treat if its caught early before symptoms start also

| Also if you cant get a stool sample they can get it at the vet. They stick this little thing up there butt and get it. Ive never taken a stool sample in for the vet to check for worms thats how they got it
