My dog recently had a bout of diarrhea after getting her teeth cleaned. Her stools are solid now but now she poops a little bit when sleeping or laying down. Any ideas why?

This is a very unusual case to have ongoing problems after the diarrhea is resolved. Sedation and anesthetic does result in all over body relaxation and chiropractic care and acupuncture can be very helpful in resolving any nerve control issues in such cases. A fiber and probiotic supplement such as fortiflora would also be recommended
