Embarassed Re: Puppy stool ?

How old is your wee baby? I have been told by some dog breeders ( not necessarily Yorkie) that when pups go to new homes there is a certain amount of stress thaat the wee ones go thru which can effect their bowels and eating habits. It is not uncommon to have loose stools appearantly and my vet and breeders have recommended, giving plain boiled rice 2/3 & 1/3 kibble or a mix of boiled chicken breast and rice for a few days until things settle down for the baby. I would suggest as a mom and nurse though to make sure your baby gets access to water at all times and free feed to make sure they are getting adequate nutrition. If your baby has many more diarreah stools in the next 2 days take him/her to the vet with a sample of the stool as well. This is just a suggestion from my dog owning experience. I hope your wee baby gets back on his feetpronto, oh yes was there any blood in the stool or fluid, is the baby constipated??
I hope some of the breeders on this site respond with their wealth of knowledge and please correct any of my suggestions if they are in error as I would not want to misguide.
Cheers
Suellen
