Try some canned pumpkin (pure) or plain yogurt....it's suppose to help.

Chicken and rice I have added canned pumkin also before but just chicken and rice has done the job well for me. I was curious what is winalot and mixer.

He is probably just adjusting from the move to his new home.

not likely unless you have other evidence of abuse. dog are scavanger that domesticvated themselves by living off of human garbage dump eating poop is the archivial diet for dogs!

Fasting you must be carefull of with a puppy the need lots of energy and missing meal can cause problems.

he was wormed on weds

consult with vet to see if this is a side effect of the medication,. 2 while occasional bout of diarrhea in an adult is rarely a problem it is easy for a puppy to become dehydrated which can lead to all sorts of complication including death it is not to be taken lightly with pups.

Boy do we feel for you here. Rosco has had the trots today too. Poor guy picked the one day when both the husband and I had to work. Needless to say my poor hubby came home to a MESS! Apparently Rosco decided to turn in a circle while going and we ended up with poo on his bed, all over the inside of his crate, on his sisters crate (right next to his), on the wall and on the carpet. Then he had another accident on the area rug in the livingroom while the hubby was cleaning up the other mess. Other than having diarrhea, he's acting just fine. We gave him some canned pumpkin with dinner tonight and he hasn't had anymore accidents. We're hoping it will pass quickly. Hope Horace is feeling better soon too!

I like the term the trots sounds so much nicer than diarrhea. Hope everyone is feeling better soon.

If it is anything like the last passage it can takes it's sweet time as far as I'm concerned.

Definitely try the Pumpkin. For some unknown reason it works for both the trots (not solely a UK term!) and constipation. (recommended by my vet, he doesn't know why it works either, but it just does) Just the canned stuff you would buy to make a pie. I always keep some cans on hand. The gang also loves it in their Kong's (semi frozen to make it more interesting).

And for the record, you are NOT a neurotic new dad (no more neurotic than the rest of us!), just a loving dad.

BTW, how is Horace's separation issues going? Any progress?

The Trots could be dietary, stress, or just "life" (hey, don't we all get it on occasion). Go with chicken and rice and a "treat" of pumpkin. In my experience, that usually clears things up fairly quickly.
