Aww Everyone..thank you for your continued concern!!

I am still not sure what is going on with his pooping issues but I can tell you that he is pooping normally now, and only lets out a tiny yelp (if that). Hopefully this will last, we will just have to wait and see. I can tell you that the Vet also said that this just might be what Thor does. The other vet (the one that i rushed him to on Wednesday) said that he may have "picked up" on the fact that he got attention for doing it and then continued to do it because of that attention. No one knows. Sadly, these little Furkids can't talk to us...It would be so much easier.

I CAN tell you with 100% certainty that the Nutri-Cal has made all the difference in Thor. I am going to raise the question of the possibility of Hypoglycemia now.

Is it possible that this is a genetic thing that has kept him "nonpuppy-like" his whole puppyhood? He honestly is a different little dog. He is nipping, barking, getting on his hind legs more, wanting to be in the same rooms as us constantly, sniffing, you name it and he is doing it since yesterday afternoon. He is even showing interest in the cats and will bark at birds or cats in "his" yard.

I thought the little calm puppy of the past was just Thor's attitude and personality...This "new" Thor shows me different.

BEFORE the Nutri-Cal he acted like a 2-3 year old dog. No all that playful, not lethargic but also not energetic, slept A LOT, no excitement when one of us walked into the room, never whined to be in the same room as us, and just depressed looking.

but now....I mean Rob just said "babe, I am going back OUTSIDE to work on the fence" Thor took off sprinting to the door and was out in the back yard before Rob even noticed. Just from hearing the word OUTSIDE. He was in the living room, I was in the bedroom working on school, and Rob was at back door getting ready to walk out.

This is not the puppy we had in our house a few days ago...that puppy would have said "outside...big deal" and laid back down. Don't get me wrong, he would have his playful TIMES but it wasn't constant as it is now. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT

WE LOVE IT!!!!!

So...what do ya'll think? Is Hypoglycemia a possibility?
