We had one blissful week of Larks sleeping without potty breaks from 10 pm-6:30 am. Then a few nights ago she had an upset tummy and had to go out about every 3 hours to poo and since then her "normal" poo schedule is off. She used to poop for the last time around 8 pm and then right away when I took her out in the morning. Now for the last 5 or so days she has to go out to poo around 12:30 am, but she doesn't go in the morning and sometimes doesn't poo until after lunchtime during the day. Is there any way to help get her back on track? Thank you!
How about a good play before bed with excitement and running around, then a long trip to the garden to 'get things moving'?
She gets her "zoomies" right before bed so we run around, play fetch, chase sticks ect for about a half hour. She'll pee about 3 times but no poo. Maybe I'll just have to wait for her to adjust again.
Hi there, Did you alter her food at all whilst she had the upset tummy? That can have an effect....My dog is as regular as you like ,twice a day,morning and evening walk but if something changes in his feeding I see it straight away in his bowel habits ....it's usually that we have an extra 'one' due to a few extra treats or kongs and that knocks his timings out for a day or 2 ...
I have given her some pumpkin with her breakfast on the reccomendation of others on this forum, which seemed to help her a lot. Other then that no changes.
Hi, I am new to this site as we have had Ruby (our black lab puppy) for 4 weeks and she is now 13 weeks old. Since last night she has had diarrhoea but is eating ok, drinking (well mainly tipping up her water bowl!) and running around like a tazmanian devil!! She eats mainly kibble with the occasional wet food but we have withdrawn the wet food for the moment. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? I am thinking of she has eaten something from the garden?...........she is also always trying to get in the bins?...................... Would really appreciate any advise there is.
Hi @Natalie denby welcome to the forum. if you are worried at all then a call or visit to your vet is your best bet. Diarrhoea in small pups is fairly common, but best to check with your vet.
