Puppy Concerns! Hi all! Just a brief question. My little pup (who was a 'no name' but now is named Daisy Rose - husband and son couldn't make up their mind!) is having problems pooping...well, not really problems doing that...but, today, I noticed she had a lot of b.m. on her hiney and that it looked like she was straining (swollen). I have to clean her up daily and I am going to start clipping around her hind end. I was just wondering if this is normal to this breed...I have never had this problem with any of the large dogs that I breed nor with the poodle pup we have. Do I need to be concerned? She is at the kennel for the weekend (hated to send her there...but we have all our dogs in the 'suites'...yep, I'm guilty...I spoil them all rotten!) Do you think I need to have her see a vet Tuesday? Or am I being over anxious?? Guess this question wasn't as brief as I meant it! Thanks in advance for all the replies!
