| Parker is at new home, has runny poo and wont eat very well I was wondering, is it normal for doggies to have runny and not eat very well after they go to a new home. I got an email from Tashia today and Parker has runny poo and didnt eat every well. This is not like him. He will eat all his food in less than a minutes. He inhales it. Just wondering if it could be from the move. He did have runny poo 3 days last week but it went back to normal??? |

| Its probably from the move. I would tell her to give him some pumpkin, feed him chicken and rice and take him to the vet if it keeps up. She probably will want to take him to the vet right away for a check up anyway.

| I agree with what was said above. He is probably stressed and adjusting. He just needs some time to settle in and I'm sure he will be just fine. |

| If it continues for the next couple of days, I would tell her to take in a sample to the vet and have it checked for cocidia. Tia had the runs after we picked her up although she was fine at the breeders, the stress of the move brought it on.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I would think that the change has his system a little out of sorts. He is young sohe should adjust quickly. Good thoughts that Parker settles in quickly to his new home.

| Hubby said Parker's poo was a little more solid, and when I fed him dinner he ate.... so I guess he's getting better... I'm gonna see how he's doing tomorrow too... but think I might be making a vet appt. anyway... Parker's breathe is totally rank.... any suggestions on his breathe???? I brushed his and Cash's teeth this evening.. but yeah.. his breathe is bad, any suggestions as I said LOL

| runny pooh is most likely stress, bad breathe is most likely dental problems, since he is still a teenage have the vet check for over crowding or retained teeth. Either way I would take him into the vet for a well check on everything because youre exposing your other furkid.

| I think the runny stool has to do with stress from the move, and he may still have some baby teeth that is why his breath stinks. Good luck and keep us posted

| HI there. I am going to say the move is probably a good bet! When I first brought my little guy home he didn't sleep, had runs and then got stopped up, and was throwing up over night. I think he was so stressed out he didn't know what to do. But, I got great advice from YT members, did the chicken and rice and pumpkin and lots of hugs and kisses and within 24 hours he was just about perfect! I couldn't thank everyone here enough for the helpful advice.

| Probably just the move, but stress can activate giardia. I've been told that all dogs "have giardia" but it is in a resting state, but can become active due to stress. I would also feed chicken and rice to see if that cures the problem. Bad breath is usually a sign of dental problems. |

I'm going to call my vet tomorrow.. I boiled rice, but didn't have chicken... he won't touch the rice... maybe I need the chicken.. his poop has like little "grains" seeds lookin stuff, his food looks like it has that in it... i don't see any rice lookin things or anything of the sort.. I hope to gosh it's just the move....

| I agree its the move. Glad to hear he is doing better as he adjusts. The breath has got to be his baby teeth. |
