| Won't go potty Hi there, I am abit worried about Tia. She has been doing number 2's very infrequently. It is now 5:11 pm here and she has yet to do a number 2 all day. She is eating and drinking fine and doing number 1's okay.

| Milo is a once a day pooper. Every once in a while he will not go, but then the next morning he goes more than usually. Have you tried going for a longer than usually walk, sometimes that stirs things up. |

I wouldn't mind if Tia was a one a day type girl lol but she usually goes quite often usually 3-4 times - this is why I'm concerned We can't go on walks yet because she has not had all her vaccinations; although we had to travel today; maybe it could be because she has not been very active today?? But surely she should still have the urge to go, as she is eating???

| Since she is so young, any little change is a big deal. Since walks are out of the question how about some extended play time, to get her moveing. |

| When my Toto does this I give him some apple with the peel and usually that fixes the problem nicely. |

| hypoglyclemia??? After I posted this she went potty; but wouldn't eat her next meal and started to act quite unresponsive. When she wouldn't eat I was worried because she NEVER NEVER refuses food; and she didn't want to play either which is uncharcteristic of her also. I was worried but everyone was assuring me it was just because she was in a new surrounding, was tired etc - but I know even if Tia is tired if I put her squeaky ball in front of her and start playing she would forget about her tiredness and join in. I thought that she might have been suffering from hypoglycelmia (sp?), I didn't have karo syrup or nurtical or honey so I gave her about maybe a teaspoon of sugar. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY she came 'back to life' she started jumping and running about Since then she has been fine; was wondering why she may have acted like this? Anything I need to be looking out for? further concerned about???

| Since she is prone to hypoglycemia, she will have to be watched very closely all the time til she outgrows it. I would feed a hypoglycemic dog at least 6 or 7 times a day or a small amount every hour or two would probably be best.

| thanks for that, I was going to ask how much I should I feed a hypo prone 10 week old. I think it came about because she went off her food!? I switched her from the wet food the breeder had her on to dry nutro choice - she seemed to like it at first then she went off it and would pick at it. She's acting normally now so i'm very relieved but still keeping a CLOSE eye on her
