    You don't say how old Bailey is and/or wht other symptoms he has (are you listless, or Baily? ;) ).

    Diaherrea in small puppies can be serious. And/or Bailey might have a bug (not necessarily though). If you re worried, call your vet and ask. They will tell you whether they think you should take him to be seen.

    Best of luck with the clean up.

    Yes, with a pup so young, give your vet a call and see what they say.

    I hope he picks up quickly, poor thing.

    Morning, yes I think at that age and being listless the vet would want to see him. I am sure he (and you) will be over it soon. :)

    Vet says something he ate! Gave me something to settle his tummy and now of course perked up a little!
    Rice and chicken.......
    Black stools in humans means blood, so concerning !
    Of course could have been the charcoal I found chewed up outside!
    Thanks for all your support already!
    I dis ask the vet " I don't want a whinny owner sticker"

    Glad he's picking up. I think you're bound to worry when they're so little.

    Hi Petrina, welcome to the forum.
    I guess black stools and charcoal would equate. Might have helped with the odour of them though ;D ;D

    I would have gone with the vet too - happy puppy and loose poops = okay to watch a bit, listless puppy and really runny poop = vet.
    Make sure you make the chicken and rice really sloppy and well overcooked with no salt of course.

    Hope Bailey is on the mend - sleepless nights can affect your "laid back"-ness.

    Good to hear all is clearing up :)

    I have had to put Gypsy on a kibble-only diet for now. Every treat and chew was going straight through and giving her the squits.
    Not easy on training - no treats!!

    I'm really new to this, so forgive me if I'm telling you to suck eggs, but have you tried plain cooked chicken as a treat? It's pretty bland so might be easy on her belly?
