Playing outside.... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 03-07-2005, 08:43 AM

This weekend we finally got our fence finished yesterday and let the girls go and play and run free and they loved it...then we noticed that Magic started having very loose stool...we watched her for a while and she was drinking and eating pretty normally but decided to have her checked just to be sure...the vet told us that she probably has a very sensitive stomach, so like if she eats grass/bugs/leaves it can make her sick...she suggested that we put her on hyperallogenic (sp??) food...does anyone else have this problem with their little one or have ever heard of it?? This morning Magic stool was back to normal...we haven't started switching her food yet but do plan to and hope that this helps...we want the girls to be able to go outside and play on pretty days....

Hope Magic's feeling better! I'll bet they didn't know what to think about all that space!!

Do keep an eye out for predators when the babies are out there playing!! They can swoop down and grab a baby in an instant!! We have a fenced area at home that I am awfully tempted to let Toto play in but am afraid she will nibble something that would make her sick! Sometimes Toto's stool changes depending on her exercise or just simply change in her routine!

Yep, ours did that too. We have a fenced in yard for them but not afraid (well, too much) of predators since we have the big dogs in a separate yard right next to them and lots of cats everywhere. LOL If either of them eat grass or a bug they do get a loose stool. Usually they will just puke it up but not always. The loose stool goes away.
