| Messy Poop Problem! Our 3 month old pup, Bandit, is doing a great job with mastering the wee wee pad. The problem is, if he poops when we're not around, it sometimes gets stuck...and then he drags his butt everwhere (and I mean everywhere) to get it off! Does anyone have any solutions? And by the way...we're putting the "Tushy Wipes" company out of business! |

| LOL! I'm sorry I just couldn't help but laugh picturing this. We have Daisy's butt area trimmed and haven't had a problem.

| I was told to check regularly for excretions caught in the hair, just under the anus. They can be a problem in puppies if not noticed can completely block elimination and you'd have a very sick dog. You can trim the hair in that area with a sissors but never a clipper. Today is my 1st day on yorky talk and I see just joined also. Good Luck with your new little puppy, I'm sure you will have many years of fun!! |

| We use a gentlemen's beard trimmer and keep butts shaved down. This is very easy to do yourself at home, just set 'em up on the counter, let him get used to the buzzing noise it makes and then hold him firmly by the tail and voila, no more poopy butt. Impacted feces can be a really serious health problem. |
