    I know when our dogs were puppies, sometimes they just were to distracted with wanting to play they didn’t want to be “bothered” to use the bathroom.  We would stay outside with them for a little while and continue to give them a “potty” command, we used “Go use the bathroom” and we would just repeat it over and over and then when they went we would make a big deal about it and immediately give them a treat to reinforce the good behavior.

    If she is home alone a lot, it could just be needing more attention. Remember, puppies have A LOT of energy. 🙂

    Good luck!

    Angel,
    Several things can cause diarrhea in dogs. I would collect a fresh fecal sample and see your veterinarian. They can test for intestinal parasites which could be the cause and treat accordingly. They can also determine if your pet is dehydrated. Any time I have a pet that is having fluid loss from either end (ie. vomiting or diarrhea) I worry about them becoming dehydrated. Furthermore your veterinarian will perform a complete physical exam and gain adequate history to try and narrow down the cause of the diarrhea and thus which treatment route to pursue. A bland diet for the next few days is never a bad idea either. Some examples of this would be hamburger and rice, chicken and rice, or Hills i/d.
    Best of luck with your pup! Hope she is feeling better soon!!

    Probably should give him a bunch of water and normal food to get it out of his system faster. If it gets worse take him to the vet

  2. Britany Medina

    Should i give him his normal puppy food?

     honestly, if this is a PUPPY, i wouldn’t wait.  i’d at least call the vet first thing this morning when they open.

My pug / boston terrier mix occasionally chuffs and huffs like a horse with the heaves. What could be the cause of this? My old Yellow Lab used to do the same thing. Could it be heartworms? He’s 5 yr. old not neutered male in good health

    If he is not on Heartworm preventative then your dog could have heartworms.  Why is he not on preventative?  It sounds like it could be a heart problem and he should go to the vet.  A vet is the only one who can diagnose Heartworms or another heart problem.

    there’s no reason to be scared UNLESS your puppy is horribly, horribly ill.  don’t panic!  we’re here to help you. 🙂

    first things first: get that puppy to a vet today or tomorrow (ideally today).  get started on a vaccination schedule.  take a fresh poop sample in a ziplock baggie – it should be very fresh, like the last poop before you go.

    secondly, invest in a crate.  crates are immensely useful tools that help with housebreaking…and trust me, if you have never had a dog before it’ll be a LIFESAVER.
