Lil Miss Bump Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 GSD puppy question............ We got Dexter yesterday and he did a big poo in Lisa's car........he also did a poo on paper this morning (it's great that he knows where to go already!) He had a small sausage from the guy at the chippy last night-before I even thought that his poor tummy couldn't take it Anyway he was fine all day, clean crate but when i got home he had runny poo and now he's just been sick but it was all water and a little puppy biscuit........ he has been drinking lots and lots of water, and i dont think he's been fed properly as he is wolfing down anything.... my question is, do you think i should not feed him for 24hrs or just feed him in little amounts but if the runny poo continues then let his tummy settle?? it could be all the excitement of being somewhere new etc...................what are your thoughts????

KERNOWHUSKIES Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 i wouldnt starve him as he will b soooo hugry, try him on a small bit of white fish n rice, u can get pollock fillets from Aldi in the frozen section. Put a little water with half n fillet n micro 4 a few mins til cooked then add the cooked rice which soaks up the liquid. That should sort him out n he wont b hugry.

magical Merlin Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 He yDiz Do you know if hes been wormed yet? sometimes that can upset their stomachs, or if they have worms that can also cause the same thing. There is lots of nasty bugs about this time of year and i've also heard that parvo is doing the rounds (my aunts old dog just had it regardless of being fully vaccinated) so as hes been straying i'd be a bit concerend about that. I'd go straight onto chicken and rice and wouldn't starve as hes only a pup. 5-6 very small feeds just to set him off and i'd also use some prokolin on the food to help give him some probiotic.

snssewell Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I think it may be all the excitement. Are you feeding him the same food that he ate at the people that you got him from? I would also do the chicken and rice for a day or two and when you see his poo is back to normal you can start mixing his food in over another day or two. Then he should be ok...I hope... Has he been dewormed lately? I know Zihna got runny poo each time she got dewormed. Hope the little pooch is feeling better soon. Keep us updated. And Husky hugs to little Dexter from us.

SarahNukka&Shadow Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yep Im with Ems and Heather on this one start off with tiney meals little and often either fish or chicken with a tiney amount of rice and just give him a tiney bit every few hours. If he continues to be sick maybe a quick trip to the vets tho just to get him checked out. Hes such a little love!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kells xx Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 yeah the chicken and rice is fine... he will get big quick though!!!!!!!!!!! i hope his belly settles from his excitement and he gets happy soon.... loves ya m8 x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 A lot of excitement with the change of owners. Having to meet new dogs. A change of diet, and water. All these will contribute to having a dodgy belly. He'll soon settle down. Small amounts and often, as always chicken (I know there are a few dogs on here that can't tolerate chicken, but they are a tiny minority) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Miss Bump Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 right i'll be going to get some chicken as soon as mike gets back.....he's been sick 3 times now bless him.....he's still drinking water tho so i'm not too worried, will see what happens with some chicken.....feel so sorry for him, he just wants to setlle in and play!!

dygosamikita Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 awww bless......hope the little guy gets feeling better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebe03 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 As other have suggested I would try him with some chicken and rice and see how that goes. As Vet has already checked him over it's probably due to change of environment etc rather than anything else. Please let us know how little Dexter gets on over the next day or so.

sutsibe Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Puppies that age ARE always hungry! Zeke would knock the food right out of my hands if I didn't insist that he sit and wait before I'll feed him. Make sure to not overfeed him - that will also often cause diarrhea!
