Why is my 2-month puppy pooping more, crying, and acting weird?

These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Diarrhea in a puppy is concerning as it can indicate gastrointestinal infections such as parvovirus which are serious. Other possibilities include intestinal worms or dietary indiscretion, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Cooper evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment based on findings. At the very least, he can be started on anti-diarrhea medications. Good luck!

If Chaco is otherwise still active, playful, eating, drinking, and has not been vomiting, I think it is ok to just keep an eye on him for a couple more days. Offer a bland diet (such as plain cooked chicken and white rice) and monitor his appetite and activity level. If he hasn't been dewormed in the past 4 weeks, that would also be advisable. If his stools are not looking more normal in a few days, or if at any point he starts vomiting, acting like he doesn't feel good, or the stool becomes bloody, take him to your vet.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Noelle. She is defecating more than is normal. Most dogs will only have two to three bowel movements per day. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian. She needs a new puppy exam, fecal testing, deworming and to discuss her diet. If she is healthy, her vaccines can be started as well. Some puppies will have soft stool due to the stress of coming to a new home. It is important to have her evaluated though as parasites are also common in puppies. Some can be spread to humans. I hope this information helps!

No this is not normal and indicates there may be a source of pain and discomfort around the back passage causing some reluctance to empty his bowels. Anal gland issues would be quite common and your vet or vet nurse can check and empty them for you if required. Ensure he is up to date with worm treatments also as they can cause discomfort in this area also and that stool is not too hard or soft resulting in straining

Poor Chaw! Unfortunately it's impossible to know the cause of the diarrhea by looks alone. The diarrhea could be due to many conditions including a change in diet, bacterial over growth, parasites or other even parvovirus. Chaw is very small and I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian today. Small puppies can become very sick very fast and so need aggressive, early intervention. Make sure to bring in a sample of fresh stool. The doctor will check her for parasites and bacterial over growth. Many times a bland diet can help and then a slow, gradual introduction to the normal food can be done. A good diet in general is Royal Canin. It is low residue and highly digestible. I hope Chaw starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions!

I am so sorry that Champ is sick. I am very worried about him based on the information you gave. If he hasn't been vaccinated for Parvovirus, that is definitely a big concern for him. https://www.petcoach.co/article/parvovirus-serious-diarrhea-in-puppies-dogs/. Because whatever is causing the vomiting and diarrhea (whether its Parvo or something else, such as a severe intestinal parasite infection, or a blockage in his intestine) could be life threatening, I have to recommend that you take him to a vet. Since oral fluids (even when syringed gently) often cannot be tolerated (the GI tract is just not working... the fluid will not be absorbed) IV fluids are often needed. Also, with Champ being so little, he is at risk for his blood sugar dropping dangerously low which could be deadly. You can rub a little corn syrup or honey on his gums to try to help with this at home. Offer very small amounts of water or broth at a time to try to get some fluids in him, but don't force flui

Hello and thank you for contacting Boop by Petco. Blood in the stools in a puppy usually is caused by intestinal worms or infections. Please, take Rex to your local vets to check him over. He may just need worming medication and a few days of antibiotics, but your vet also may want to test him for parvovirosis, a nasty viral infection that attacks mainly puppies.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Teddy! First I recommend checking the skin and hair around his anus. See if there is fur and poop matted there and see if the skin is red and inflammed. If there is matted fur wash him. If he isn't matted or the skin is red I recommend he see your Vet today. They can address the skin and check to see if his anal glands need to be emptied. Full or impacted anal glands can cause scooting. Causesof diarrhea in puppies: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, dietary indiscretion, food sensitivity or toxin ingestion. Bring a stool sample to your appointment. After the exam they may prescribe an antibiotic and/or a probiotic. If his skin is irriated they may prescribe a topical to apply. I hope this helps. Good luck and I hope Teddy is back to himself soon!

Hi there, I wouldn't be worried about one stool like this, but if it worsens or there is any vomiting, disinterest in food, or lethargy, that would warrant an emergency exam for a pup his age. Parvovirus is of serious concern if he is not fully vaccinated. If his stools remain soft but he is otherwise well, I'd recommend calling your regular veterinarian. They may recommend an exam or prescribe probiotics or a diet change if they have already seen Cliff. Puppies his age are generally dewormed every two weeks to eliminate all the life cycles of the most common parasites. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
