Update on Peanut - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lovespandp · 04-16-2013, 09:13 AM

Well he seems to be improving. Yesterday evening he finally ate on his own. He ate his dry food!! When I got home he seemed to be perked up, like he did feel better. I made some more chicken for him since I had it, mixed it with his kibble and he gobbled it all up! He followed it by drinking some water. Dh came home and seemed extra perked up- so he isn’t acting sickly by any means. Totally normal.

However he hasn’t pooped since Sunday. I know when you are sick it kind of throws your system off. When he did poop it wasn’t diarrhea but it wasn’t hard, it was formed but just a little soft. I also gave him some dog pepto bismol so maybe that stopped him up..?

Since he ate yesterday evening and this morning he should def have some poop for me today/ this evening..

My question is besides pumpkin what else can I give him for constipation? I heard you can give mineral oil?

I’m thinking if he doesn’t poop by today/night I will take him in tomorrow morning.. Oh I should also say he has been farting a lot. They are stink strong farts, Peanut is never a farter either..

What do you all think? Should I give it today to see if his body can go back to normal? Should I try giving him something to help?

Activity and apples without the core or the skin might help. I would give him a day. Him moving around will help move the bowels too. Take him for a walk

glad he is eating and feeling himself again

Hmm ok- Taking him for a walk is a good idea- Like I said he isn't acting sick so that’s good. I know he hasn't got into anything that would “stop him up” also he pooped Sunday so I know he can… I just get worried.. You know how it is LOL. Hopefully he has some nice poop for me when I get home! If not I will try walk first, and go from there.

I totally know how it is. Chewbacca will not poop if I don't walk him most of the time. But I do find if I am eating an apple or cutting one up and I give him a thin slice he usually goes on the pee pad within an hour or two lol. It's like apple juice and kids I'm guessing

Ya, I just don’t know “how” worried I should be- He pooped Sunday, so I know he can.. I know he was just sick so I need to take that into consideration. I’m not sure where this gas is coming from..?? Maybe it’s from the boiled chicken? Since he never gets anything other than his dry food.. He is peeing so that side of his system is working.. UGH! I just hope we have poop LOL!

Glad to hear he pooped! When Teddy had his diarrhea for 2 days, he didn't poop for 2 days after that -- highly unusual for him. The doctor said not to worry. His system was taking time to fill up and recover.

Unless they are showing obvious signs of constipation, I wouldn't treat for it when they don't do anything for a couple of days.
