Too much POO My 12 week baby probably poos at least 8 times a day. It is normal poo but when she only weighs 1lb 9oz this I feel is excessive. I switched dog food yesterday to see if it this would help. Does anyone out there have a baby this age? If so how many times a day do they go????? |
Gracie went about 3 times a day, and so did Holly. It depended on how many times a day they ate. They both have been on a high quality food from the day I brought them home. Are you free feeding? If so, try stopping that and doing a scheduled feed 3 to 4 times a day. This should result in fewer BMs, and elimination on a predictable schedule which will help with potty training. |
I am feeding her about four times a day right now. I agree though 3xday should be enough now at 12 weeks. I am really bad about hand feeding her a few bites here and there. She just loves to eat though and up to this week (before her growth spurt)I was so worried about her growth. Now that I feel she is fine I'll have to stop hand feeding her!! By the way your baby is adorable! |
By the way what do you feed your babies. |
That is waaaaay too much. I wouldn't want to see an adult poop more than three times a day and a pup go more than three or four times. There is a dog on YT that goes 6 times a day and is healthy but that isn't usually normal. Does your vet know? If you switch to a high quality food and it continues, I'd be concerned. |
Have you taken her to the vet? What are you feeding her? She may have an allergy to something in the puppy food that you are feeding. She may have a parasite of some type causing stomach irritation. Some puppies and dogs are allergic to the chicken bi-products in the food, you may need a lamb and rice type of food. Your vet should be able to help you with this. She should be on a very high protein puppy food, around a 30% or better would be best. Good Luck..... |
WOW! That does seem like a lot. Hopefully, the change in her diet will help. I can't remember how many times Livi would poo when she was younger, but I know that it was not that much. She is just a few days away from being one year old and she only has 2 poos/day. (I am assuming that is her in your avatar...total doll baby!) :) Tammy |
Oh! and you asked about food...my dogs are on Canidae. Tammy |
She has been treated for parasites in the past month but has finished her meds. Before though her bm's were very loose . They now are normal but very frequent. I just changed her to the Chicken Soup puppy food I hope this will cause a decrease in the bm's. |

What brand was she eating before the switch? |
