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?

Oh wow, i just read this whole thread and you guys have been through it!!
I do absolutely thing these two issues of hypoglycemia and the BM prob are seperate one maybe caused with trying to treat the other...As he gets older and hopefully gains some weight, the hypoglycemia should correct itself..if not giving Nutracal with his food can stretch out his glucose levels until he feeds again..I just want to share with you a problem we had with one of our Yorkies, Bogus "Gus"...he used to eat pine bark..dumb me thought he was just chewing on it and after a few days of this, discovered the little nut was eating it..well, he woke us up one night wailing (sounded exactly like your little one on the first posted video)...to make a long story shorter..he had an impaction of stool and wood chips the size of a golfball!! Gus weighed about 3 pounds when this happened...after the impaction was cleared, we had him on a special diet, a human stool softner daily for two months and every BM he had for 5 weeks was this way!!! Our vet said his lower colon (from the wood and the impaction) was inflamed and this is why he thought Gus was having this brown mucus discharge daily...we did the daily butt baths too...He would cry and cry and hold in his stools and was just in agony!! I know Thor didn't eat pine bark...but. if he was impacted at one time, he may have some inflammation in his little colon also...if so, this will heal over time. It sounds like he is on the road to recovery now..I pray he is. Gus actually had his rectum prolapse from the initial impaction. Today he is 2 1/2 years old and doesn't have problems unless he eats something that constipates him. We have to be very careful of what he eats.. Our vet said the large area that was inflammed for so long no longer creates the amt. of mucus needed to "slide" a dry stool along, so we just monitor him and he has pretty much been a normal dog since his recovery. I don't know if this is what Thor is going through, but considering what Gus went through and the way his colon reacted to the impaction, kind of makes sense he could have alot of irritation up in the colon out of the view of what the eye can see....
