Hi @cindy miles my kingdom for a full stop or comma. I suggest you contact your vet immediately. Puppies suffering diarrhoea can become dehydrated very quickly.
Well I will just start by saying that raw feeding is very good for solid poos, so it MIGHT be worth looking into somewhere down the line, however, I’m not promoting it and it will probably do more harm than good at the moment, as will continuing to change his food I would’ve thought. I realise this is difficult because you don’t know what’s causing it, hence you really need to go to the vet. Buddy had one or two runny poos the first couple of weeks he was with us, but literally one or two, he was also sick once, but back to normal very quickly. I think they do begin to get used to the surroundings, water, rubbish they pick up in the garden etc, and it should settle down. But I’m not sure that this is normal and really needs checking out!
Kyko's poos have been fine since we got him. Some I would say softer than others but still formed poos. An older man was collecting the apples from the tree in the garden & insisted on continually giving him treats, even after I asked him not to feed him as we don't really give him treats as such, as he will do anything for just a piece of his kibble at the moment. Not only did he keep giving them but they were really hard big bone shaped treats he gives his adult dog, I was fuming but he just wouldn't listen & the next day he pooped more often and was on the softer side. I would take them to the vets if he was consistently having runny poo as could be damaging in a very short space of time
I had the same problem with Bruce turned out it was guardia, and he too pulled up a lot in the garden but really didn’t eat it. Lee
Is the main problem here the diarrhoea or is it that the puppy is eating everything in the garden? Pups really shouldn't have full reign to roam outside. They will really eat things which are dangerous. Many plants are toxic, and gravel etc can cause internal blockages if ingested. Pups need to be watched really closely and to trail a house line behind them - which you hold onto in an area where they may pick up things they shouldn't have. When you can't supervise, pup should be crated....
Firstly - See the vet soon! Secondly - contain your pup in a nice-sized pen when alone in the garden (and another for the house?) to stop him helping himself to anything and everything Thirdly - I do hope this will quickly resolve itself and your lovely puppy will be back soon in full (if mischievous!) health and you can relax and enjoy. My 6 month old took advantage of a lone unguarded moment to chew part of an old 45 record (nasty very hard and splintery plastic ) but 4 and a half days later she’s still showing no signs of ill-effects... am keeping my fingers crossed it’s all going through without problems! All the best
