Poop Patterns/issues (loose poops) - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LifeLovePassion · 09-25-2010, 04:44 PM

First, I have spoken with my vet regarding the loose poops and will do so as needed but was looking for input as to "normals"/teething patterns effecting poop(like with human babies).

The backstory: This past week Elvis has had looser poops. He started the week by getting his 2nd distemper shot on Monday AM. He mostly slept until Tuesday afternoon. He had some loose poops/and has been waking me up 3-4 times a night. The poops are firmer, but still not normal. I am also thinking some of this may be side effect from the shot. Here is the weird part...his poop pattern has switched night and day. He was sleeping all night and would poop 2-3 times during the day, the past 2 days it's been hardly any during the day and 2-4 at night. It's like his body clock reset. Any thoughts?

Have his eating times also changed. You can try some canned pumpkin to firm his stools.

I'm guessing it is from the shot,

Oh I forgot, I gave him pumpkin the first day, he ate it and it worked. Now he won't touch the stuff. No his eating times/patterns have stayed the same. I also did cut out all treats in case he was getting too many of those/they were the issue.

have you gotten a fecal done on him yet? Hazel's stools were loose and he ended up having worms/parasites =[

yup we had a fecal...it was neg.

Any other thoughts? Particularily on the reverse schedule he is on (pooping @ night, more sleeping/not pooping @ day)

Maybe because he slept an entire day after getting his vaccine?
