Puppy poo time question???

[Cheryllynn]

She poos at night. During the day, she will pee often.

I added to her kibble (blue) two or three string beans, or a bit of broccoli, today she had a table spoon of egg. I train her a bit a day, and she has 4-6 Cheerios. If I see her use the potty pad I also give her a Cheerio.

I dont know what to tell you hun...her stool is normal? firm not runny?

[Cheryllynn]

Yes it is fine.

I did not take her to pick up the kids today, we needed to go a couple of stores. Just got home and she had pooped on her puppy pad. She just won't do it when I am home, or she just does it at night.

Maybe she is like my 4 year old skin son he always yells "PRIVACY" when he is going #2 LOL

I just can't have her in my room at night. That is the only time she has a bowel movement. She has food all day. She only really eats once a day.

Maybe poops all night because she is scared/nervous. Buddy, my golden, gets diarrhea when he is upset. He would never be happy in a laundry room overnight by himself. I know the Yorkies would raise holy heck if I tried that with them. All sleep in the bedroom. When the Yorkies were puppies they left in a baby playpen overnight in the bedroom. Lucy still likes to go it is sometimes when she wants to not be bothered.

I would be nervous to let my little ones go outside unattended. Animals could get her. People could steal her. Non-animal lovers/sick-o's could poison her. Or she could just find trouble on her own.

The number of poops a day depends on the quality if food as much as quantity. Less rubbish in = less rubbish out. If she is active putting on Weight and otherwise healthy I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you want to regulate her toilet times yoU need to stop free feeding and have set meal times. after a meal take her to potty outside if that's your preference and give lots of praise and encouragement when she performs.
