How is the little man today?

Jeri Cunningham · 07-14-2008, 06:52 AM

I always use milk as they will lap it up. None of mine like the canned pumpkin or sweet potatoes. I don't have problems as mine eat carrots and green beens right out of the can frequently.

If they do seem constipated I actually put a few drops of mineral oil after feeding milk in their behind. It works with in a few hours at the most.

Stedman you go poo - poo so mom won't worry!

I hope today is the day for Stedman to do a great big poop.
Poor little guy. His tummy must be hurting. Gee Brook you have
done everything possible so finger's crossed today is the day.
You can't go any longer I guess if it dosen't work this morning
the vet needs to be called.
Prayer's coming for you Stedman. Hope you fell better today.

Checking in for a poo update!!! Go Stedman, Go Stedman!!!

I've been wondering about Stedman. I hope he's OK.

Toppersmom · 07-14-2008, 10:12 AM

Just checking to see how little Stedman is doing. Hope you are feeling better little man.

FL Tink · 07-14-2008, 10:18 AM

OK I didnt know about the sweet potato...Bella get some almost every night.
She never has any problems with diarrhea that goodness.
she must be the most regular dog on the block..lol

Come on Steddy! You can do it!

Stella's mom · 07-14-2008, 10:27 AM

Just checking in on the little guy

Just seen this and checking on Steddy POO!

Hope he is feeling better. Sending Kisses his way!

stedmansmommy · 07-14-2008, 10:56 AM

HAHAHA!! You guys are sooo sweet, and I have to say, I got the biggest kick out of reading everyones comments rootin' for Steddy to POOP today! LOL!!

Cute, cute, cute!!

Thank you all for being so concerned and for checking in on my little guy

Here is a little update for ya: Last night hubby finally got him to go a little more....actually, he went twice, but not much each time. I don't think I even want to say what my hubby did to get him to go....LOL!!! I am too embarrassed and you would all probably think that we are seriously CRAZY

But hey, IT WORKED!!

When hubby told me what he wanted to use on him, this was my face

I had just never heard of such a thing LOL. He said he read it online somewhere and I have to tell ya, I thought he was absolutely insane but it really DID get him to go - so that's all that matters

Stedman must have jumped off the bed in the middle of the night and we didn't even know it, because when we woke up, there were FOUR poop spots in the house (mind you, Stedman NEVER EVER has accidents in here - EVER) - so, I think the canned pumpkin, sweet potatoes, olive oil and milk all kicked in finally, LOL. It had to be one of those things, or a mix of all of them because last night his little poops were firm and this morning they were way more loose, although still not the ugly D.....LOL.

So, as of last night/today he HAS gone....so I am going to wait on calling the vet. I'll see how he does today/tonight and if he starts having problems again then we will go see the vet tomorrow, but as of right now...he's ok and is acting pretty much like his old self again

He is still not 100% "there" yet....but MUCH better than early yesterday

Thank you all again so much for checking in on the little mister and I promise to keep you all updated!!

LOL I know!!

Well heck, I figured that I would just try everything mentioned being that I really didn't know what was going to work for him...cause oh my goodness, the poor little guy was just in so much agony yesterday

I honestly didn't even care if he DID have the ugly D....all I wanted was for him to GO...thank goodness he finally did!

Nikki+2 · 07-14-2008, 11:23 AM

Yay Stedman!

MyPeanutAbbyGra · 07-14-2008, 11:24 AM

What a relief! Literally!

They are so tiny, not going has got to be so uncomfortable. Oh happy poo day!
