hi,
our 11 month yorkie has had very small bowel movements in the last 2 days. normally he has healthy movements twice a day and is eager to go when we take him out to poop. for the last couple days he has been chewing at his bottom, acting uncomfortable, and only going a little bit once a day? he eats normally (science diet) and we seldom give him human food? has anyone gone through this before? please advise, we are worried about the little guy...
thanks,

Sorry I've never been through this personally. I know they have to have their anal glands expressed every so often. That could be what is wrong with him. I'm sure someone on here will be able to help you out.

Welcome. I hope he feels better soon.
