Hi, I just picked up my lil guy friday, he is just so darn adorable!! I was so happy to find a forum, have loads of questions..lol..all the reading and research I have done, before deciding on a yorkie, just went out the window, with the first concern on my lil guy..ugg!...my lil guy tonight had loose stools, just a bit, should I be concerned??
Thanks

Congratulations & Welcome to yorkietalk!!

How old is your new little pup?

I think some folks will have great advise for your concern.

Are you feeding the same food that the original people were giving to him? Sometimes, if the food is changed to fast, they can have soft poo's...

I agree with Lucyaboo, have you change the food? anyway congratulations on your new furbaby. Keep the eye on him make sure he is drinking enough water too

Shay is 4 months old..I am feeding him the same food the breeder gave me to take home, Purina Pro plan for puppies. I am also giving him some forti -cal gel, that they gave me also..

Hmm poor baby could be stress too, new place you know

Forgot to ask you does the loose stools have any blood on it? or mucous? maybe let the breeder know just in case, have you take him to the vet yet? that is the first thing I did with my girls to activate their one year health contract from the breeder.

He goes to the vet wed. morning...this just happened tonight, stool was soft not like usual and then a couple lil drops, no blood, that I could see, is eating well too, one thing you said was water...I did get one of those bottles that hang on her crate, yesterday, like the breeder had, he does use it, and am watching how much I put in it, so to see how much he is drinking.
