Watery poop Baileys first day home and his poop is watery. Should I be concerned? He is eating and drinking water, what do you think? |

Yes, I am going to call the vet Monday, If it gets worse I'll call emergency. Funny thing is he goes into his crate, has a little nap, comes out to play a little and eat and drink, he seems perfectly fine..I am constantly watching him. Is poop isn't so runny now, but I will have to watch him and see, I am keeping my fingers crossed that he is ok! |
Yes, runny poop in a pup is a big concern. I'm sorry your baby might be sick. In puppies, diarrhea can be life-threatening bc they dehydrate and can become hypoglycemic. If there is any way you can get to the vet, I'd go as soon as you can - you'd want to get a fecal test done, and perhaps bloodwork depending on the vet's findings. Is there blood in the poo? What is the color? |

Oh no, He seemed fine, eating, drinking. His poop is almost the same color as what he was eating, soft puppy food. I don't think there was blood, the last poop was thicker in consistancy. . Oh no, we have only one vet here, and sometimes she can't be reached after hours. I feel sick now, I'm going to call and see if I can get an answer. |

I really think too much corn syrup will give him runny poops...When my human baby was a baby, I would put karo in his bottle to make him go! Also, the water change may upset his tummy a little bit, but that will straighten out in a couple of days...The breeder gave me nutrical, when I got Apple, but I just watched her to see if she looked hypoglycemic, and, since she never did, I never gave it to her...I'm no expert, but I'd certainly start by cutting back on the karo... |
I would rather give karo or honey rather than corn syrup. If he's eating well & drinking water, I don't think you have to worry about hypoglycemia. Just watch him until you can get to a vet tomorrow & take along a fecal sample. Also limit his play time so he doesn't burn up too much calories. Hope the little guy will feel better soon! |

Sorry to cause confusion...I thought Karo & corn syrup were two different things.:rolleyes: Now I know. My vet suggested honey, not the raw kind but the one in the bottle shaped like a bear. She prefers to give Karo (corn syrup) before honey. How's your baby doing? |
