Too many times pooping? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mylittletigger · 03-23-2006, 04:19 AM

I feed my baby Royal Canin puppy 33. My puppy is eight months old and poops once a day sometimes two. I will soon be switching over to Blue Buffaloe.

Thanks everyone for your input. I'll be patient and hopefully Napoleon will grow out of this frequent pooping stage. My biggest fear was there was something physically wrong with him. But it appears my yorkie is not alone in what he's doing. Yes, I do realize that babies do this kind of stuff often, but whenever I read about other puppies and how they only poop once or twice a day and it made me concerned about mine as he is very different! Another thing about Napoleon that is frustrating is that he gets very easily distracted outside by a million things -- cars, dogs, cats, grass, poop from other dog, ants, dirt -- to the point that he's too busy investigating the object of distraction that he forgets to poop!! Which is sometimes why I bring him in after a hour of him not pooping and when he gets in his grate, he gets so bored he remembers it's time to poop and does it right there! Grr! LOL. Ah well, hopefully he will grow out of this!

don't worry he will. Tigger did the above mentioned for awhile as well. He's now eight months old and no longer does any of it. what food are you feeding him?

I guess I have the opposite problem. I have read alot of stuf that says yorkies need to go right after eating. My little guy seems to go hours later. So I wait around nervously till he goes. He goes about 3-4 times a day. Often I take him out for soo long, over 30mins, and he doesnt go. Then I bring him in and he goes on the kitchen floor. I don't know if i should be concerned or not.

The problem with mine is most of the time he will go half an hour after eating, but not only that but he goes at OTHER times too! So it's been tough predicting when he will go and when it's safe to let him run around my living room. On the plus side, he's been getting better at going out to the patio area by himself and doing his stuff out there (I leave a wee wee pad out there). The problem with this is I live in FL, it's warm, and leaving the AC on with the screen door slightly open isn't so good for my budget, plus flies/moisquitos start coming into my apartment. But I'm going to resort to this method for awhile. What else can I do? I really love this little puppy but we're going through some growing pains right now lol.

He currently eats Nature's Choice dry puppy food. Since Monday he's had very little appetite. It used to be I would feed him like 3/4 cup a day of food and he ate all of it, plus he'd watch me avidly while I ate! (Meaning he still could eat more if I gave him more). But nowadays, he barely touches the food, so I'm not sure what the problem is. He's been eating at most 1/4-1/2 cup of food a day.

patience is the best way. It took tigger about six to seven months in our home to learn fully how to go outside. meaning he no longer had accidents in the house. Believe me he'll soon develope his own signals for you to learn when he has to go potty. My best advice is hang in there. these little guys can be very stubborn and naughty so just be patient and it'll pay off in the long run. Best of Luck.

Oh with the dog food, make sure that the first three ingrediants are either meat, a meat by-product or some form of rice. If corn is in the first three thats possibly what could cause him to go so often. Corn is a filler and isn't all that digestible so often times it just goes through their system lickity split. I hope this helps.

Patience and potty pads. Dogs develope their own signals to let you know when they need to go.
