- By lucysmith [gb] Date 12.05.10 12:33 UTC
Hi , me again! well yesterday i'm posting as i thought pups were constipated and today they have upset tums and its my fault. Last night hubby asked me if dogs had been fed yet to which i replied no ,'can you do it, they are having tripe and egg tonight' , i didn't make it clear that pups mum was not included in this but she got fed a bowl of raw tripe and egg , obviously ate it all as its her favourite but today the pups have got runny poo , i am assuming from her eating so much tripe. What shall i do? They are still happy to feed from her but i am concerned they will get dehydrated. Advice please.

Usually if they have had a surplus of milk from mum the poo becomes rather sloppy, they should not dehydrate so long as they are feeding from mum, milk is a complete food, (which means it contains water as well).   You can tell if a puppy is dehydrated when you pick the skin up between finger and thumb when you let go it should spring back.   If they are round, fat, contented all is well usually, keep an eye on them.

If you are worried about them being dehydrated you can always give them cooled boiled water, but if mum is a good mum all should be okay.
