You know - if we had large dogs that went to the bathroom outside --we wouldn't be examining their stools with a fine tooth comb everytime they went to the bathroom.. I think it's unfortunate that so many of us do this -- when more often than not, there is never any problem at all. Animal's stools change occasionally depending on the amount of exercise they've had, the amount of fluids they have had, and the food they have eaten...as well as many other causes. And dogs, like us, get an upset stomach or diarrhea occasionally.... More often than not, even this is "here today - gone tomorrow.: I would be paying more attention to my puppy's demeanor. Is he happy, playful, eating well, etc. This should be our prime indicator as far as the puppy is feeling. If a pup's stool changes, and remains abnormal for more than a day or two, I think it might be time to watch him more closely ---especially, if he doesn't appear to be feeling well. Then it is probably the time to visit the vet. Good luck - you "stool gazers." Carol Jean |
Well, I don't have a large dog, I have a small one that I get very concerned with when something like strange poop happens. It didn't take a fine tooth comb to see that something wasn't right. She had not eaten anything strange, nor did she act strange. She IS fine now, but I just wondered if anyone else could give me some insight as to what it could have possibly been. That's all. I appreciate the helpful comments... :) Have a good week! |
Hey - I have 10 dogs and I am in contact with many Yorkie breeders and we all laugh at how we are always checking their poop out. It is an early indicator if there is something wrong with our little ones and we take this very serious. When you have small dogs they can go down faster than a large dog so it is important to watch for all signs. If I were you, even if your dog seems fine now, is drop off a stool specimen at your vet. Parasites can do a lot of damage without you knowing and it is better to be safe than sorry. I think you are a great mom for being watchful for any changes in your little one. :thumbup: |
