How many poops a day for your baby? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

missdeeliciouz · 07-14-2007, 08:52 AM

Bobby seems to poop at least 3, sometimes 5, times a day.. is that normal? How many times a day do your little babies go?

I'm just a bit concerned if it's something I'm feeding him.

Thank you

How old is he. Puppies will poop many times a day. My older dogs poop twice a day.

missdeeliciouz · 07-14-2007, 08:59 AM

He's about 10-11 weeks old..

Armani is 23 weeks (almost 6months) and poops morning and evening so twice. When I first got him he pooped about 3-4 times, then even more because he had giardia

but now our schedule is wake and poop, and poop again sometime between 5:15-5:45 pm on the dot lol

missdeeliciouz · 07-14-2007, 09:05 AM

Oh okay.. I wasn't sure if it was diarrhea or not so I was worried! I guess he's pooping pretty normal for his age. Just like a human baby, LOL!

Layla changes monthly

some days 3x a day.. and since i've been home cooking it's either once or twice.... lately once...

Max poops probably 3-4 times a day. I feed him canned food in the early morning and he goes immediately after than and then I feed him his dry food in small amounts thru the day and another little bit of canned at 5pm. I know he goes once or twice more during the day at least. Sometimes more, but never less.

Marci, I noticed the same thing, homecooking regulated the poop

I actually read a lot of your threads about homecooking and thats why I started. Also thanks to you and Wylies mom I started on missing link

missdeeliciouz · 07-14-2007, 10:08 AM

Thanks for all the input guys!

I was worried that it was diarrhea but I guess it was pretty normal!

Oh, & should I have him Bobby on Missing Link? I've heard a lot about it on the forums. What does it do?

aww glad we could help! i remmeber when i changed Layla from her crap dog food to a high quality one the lady at the store told me that she would poop less because her body doens't have to much "Crap" to get rid of .. the ingredients are great so her body will keep them instead of getting rid of them. So this must be the same with home cooking, her body takes in more nutrients than it needs to get rid of... hence... less poop!

I think pooping a lot is normal for young puppies. The older het gets, he'll probably start pooping less often. Lacy normally only poops once a day but sometimes goes twice. Sometimes when we are out of our normal routine she'll skip a day of pooping. She's on a raw diet so she doesn't poop a lot when she does go

Conner would poop 2 - 3 times when he was a baby. Now, at 16 months, he poops once a day. Very rarely, he will poop twice. It is normal for a puppy to poop more.

ladybugg74 · 07-14-2007, 06:36 PM

Hallee will be two and Gracie will be three. They both go at least 2 times a day, maybe 3. We monitor how many times because if they don't go we get worried. It is funny, my hubby leaves for work before I do so I usually call him at work and ask if he picked up any poo this morning so I know if they went or not.
