Hey guys! I have an 11 week old puppy that weighs 1.01 pound. He is having some diarrhea. Not 'watery' yet but very, very soft. Sorry for the graphics
Anyway yesterday he was given some canned food. I was having a hard time getting him to eat so I was desperate. It was the same brand if that matters at all. He only had a small amount of it. Since then he has been gobbling down boiled chicken and rice with some of his kibble mixed in. He is playful, active, drinking his water, urinating......he does not look sick at all. He has only pooped 3 times today but each time was very loose. My question is when should I start to worry? I thought rice and chicken would help the pooping but it has not. I know that he is very, very small and I know bad things can happen very quickly in these little guys. I know its just probably the change in diet but how soon will this get better? He had a vet appointment yesterday and everything was great....just a mild case of ear mites
Could ear mite meds cause diarrhea?
I almost forgot...Sunday we had a terrible episode of hypoglycemia so I have been diligent about making him eat every 3 hours. Could I be over-feeding him? Could this be the cause of his loose stool? Whats funny is he has been gobbling up food ALL day it seems. I am just so happy that he wants to eat so I am letting him. Thanks for anyone's input!
