Pups TOO Fat and not pooed!!!???? Hi all, Maisey pups are going to be 4 weeks old on Wednesday, but im really concerned that ive not seen them poo yet eventhough they have been on puppy food for 3 days. She does clean them, but ive not seen her go near the back end? the pups are very fat, started to walk about alot more, but spend most of their time sleeping!!!! they dont cry, so i know there not in any pain. Ive tried cleaning them myself to help them go but nothing has happened. Getin WORRIED ive not seen an poo????? Maisey has had the runs for 3 days as well, do you think i should keep her away from the pups? thanks ann-marie:confused: |
If the puppies are nursing and not in pain they must be pooping. The mother usually cleans up after them. It is no longer necessary for her to lick them to make them go, but she will still clean up their poop. I would take her to a vet to find out why she has diarrhea. |
hi Jean thanks for the reply - i know what ur saying about mum cleaning up after them, but ive not seen any poo!!! Wee,yes but no poo. I wormed them last week and mum a week later, she was ok 2 days ago, but has had the runs since, and she is eating like anything????? Got some chicken today and am given her just the chikcen in the morning. what do you think? |
weaning You might keep her away for several hours during the day...she is no doubt catching the poo as it comes out..I rarely see poo unless mom is away for several hours...I would give mom some meds for her stools...and remember she is eating the stools with the worms meds and that can make hers loose..I would give her chicken and rice for a few days also... |

my moms usually stop eating poop sometime along the way like 4-6 weeks but they keep licking them to clean them you could try separating them and watching for poop:aimeeyork |
pee and poop Just to be sure, I'd take a warm cotton ball and gently wipe on their privates so they pee, usually that will stimulate them to poop. If they are not pooping it could back up and cause major infection. You might be surprised how much they poop so have plenty of cotton balls and do each one. Let us know. Duncanmom |
They have been!!! Hi all just to let you know that i saw one of the pups 'poo' - finally!!! It turns out that Maisey (mum) is a really good mum, but now she is eating to feed the 500!!!! She is always hungary,even though i am feeding her 3-4 times a day, what could that be?? Ive wormed her as well so it cant be that - any ideas? thanks for all your help by the way. x |
ppoo It is normal for a mother raising pups to eat 3-4 meals a day..she needs all the extras to feed the babies and gain back her weight. Especially if she had a large litter. I recently had a litter of 7- yes 7, and she is eating me out of house and home. Never seen yorkies stools quite this size ever! What are you feeding the mom? Puppy food I hope. |
