| Won't go potty... This is his first day home. He's been home since 1ish(5pm now) and nothing's happened. Should I be worried yet, or just wait it out? He's been fed 2x and has had water. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Are you sure he hasn't gone and you just didn't see it. When they are so small it's hard to tell when they are going.

| I think it is normal for them not to want to go to the bathroom right away at a new home. Destiny didn't go to the bathroom for 3 days when I first got her. I was so worried but after she had time to adjust she was fine. Glad to know yours went already.

| Awww, he just doesn't know what that wee wee pad is for yet. Give her time. I hope you have the pad in an X pen, and not the crate. They don't like to go to the bathroom in the same area they sleep in normally. |

| I thought mine wasn't going potty either. I panicked thinking he had kidney failure. He was only in the kitchen and the breeder told me he was litter trained so I figured he was sick. I took him to the vet and everything. Then I bought a black light. He had been peeing on my kitchen rug! I didn't notice because he doesn't squat or lift his leg. He just kind of stands still!. Out went the rug and litter and I outside trained him. |

Your giving your baby too much free reign on the house. They should be confined to an "area" when you first get them. If not, they will learn fast to pee and poop anywhere they darn well please. You need an X-pen. Also, peeing and pooping in the crate is a very bad habit. And they don't normally like to poo or pee where they sleep. Pee pads should NOT be in a crate. | |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | He will eventually go. Did you change his food or is it the same from what the breeder was giving him? It could be some anxiety of being in a new place.

| Oh no.....you leave him in there long enough, and he will poop!!! Gotta out wait him! Also you might want to check his hiney. I know seems most of us have had hair matted on their butts at least once keeping them from pooping. |
