Topic Dog Boards / Health / Puppy with diarrhea
- By charmedagain [gb] Date 09.08.09 20:11 UTC
Hi everyone, i have not been on for awhile.
I have a new puppy she is 7 weeks old i have had her for a week now, I know 6 weeks old is young to be away from her mother but i know the breeder and the mother is a first timer and started attacking the litter, So i said i would take my little girl.
She is happy, bouncy and runs around like something possesed eats and drinks well.
My problem is she has diarrhea not the watery kind its more pudding type, her stools are normal after her morning feed then all of a sudden she goes from normal to runny stools.
Sometimes as she is having a poop it starts off normal then the end is diarrhea. She was wormed last week so i know its not that, Her food has not been changed.
I have rang my vet and he says aslong as she is eating and drinking and is not lethargic of have blood in her stools she will be ok she may just have an upset stomach.

Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated..

It could be something as simple as change of water.  You have nothing to lose by trying bottled, to see if it helps.

With my dogs, I have always found that loose stools following a firm stool normally indicates they need a slight reduction in their daily food intake.

Of course, I'm thinking about adult dogs here....seems so long since I had a puppy!

Do I detect a broody feeling?  :-)  :-)  :-)

Her stools were normal this morning then they went back to being slightly loose. I will try reducing her food a little see if that helps her out.
Thank you for all the replies
