Ok, sorry for the gross topic, but I need your thoughts on this. Joey has never had diarrhea...only healthy stools (he is 8 months old). Well, yesterday I got home from work and I saw something that really freaked me out.....all over the wee wee pads (at least he got it on the pads) was what looked to be like FIVE days worth of poop....there was like two regular stools and then little tadpoles of poop (prob like 10 little tadpoles) and then piles of diarrhea....it was SO Weird!!!! I couldn't believe it all came out of Joey.

Then I took him out of the pen to clean everything up and he ran under the bed and did it again!!! I couldn't believe there was more! Anyway, he is acting totally normal...playing and happy. He doesn't act like he is sick. This morning at 3am I heard him moving around and I put him down and he went again and then again at 5am, which is not normal for him. But, he still continues to ACT normal. We didn't feed him anything unusual..the only thing I can think of is a rawhide bone that he had two nights ago that was all over his beard....he really got into it and it broke up into tiny little pieces. Maybe that is the reason?

He is not eating much now, but I am trying to give him plenty of water. Worst thing is...we are going to my parents place in Pennyslvania tomorrow and I'm worried. I know diarrhea is normal in dogs to an extent, but has anyone heard of the AMOUNT I am referring to? What could this be?

Thanks so much!
