wendybird 0 #1 February 16, 2004 Question for all you dog owners out there ... My recently house-trained 14 week-old Chocolate Lab (that'd be Leroy Brown) has had, shall we say (because it *is* still breakfast time) a "runny stomach" for the last 2 mornings in a row -- but *only* in the mornings. I can think of a few possible causes, but none of them really seem spot-on. He acts otherwise completely fine ... 1) I changed from one type of Puppy Chow to another just over a week ago. Can't believe it'd upset him now, and only in the mornings. 2) Maybe he's taken to eating the ice-eating salt on the driveway in the mornings after his breakfast? It's been here as long as he has -- not sure that'd be the case, and again, only in the mornings. Can't think of much else. Maybe he just likes morning baths? He is a Lab, after all ...Wendy "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used u Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slug 1 #3 February 16, 2004 Dog food for your puppy How could you be so mean They prefer socks shoes and anything else in the "danger zone" which will get higher as the puppy grows up. People food yummyHave you been giving the puppy some milk with the dry dog food? Watch if he's doing the salt thing and call the vet and ask. Plan B go back to the other brand of food before he got the runs, and see what comes out. R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wendybird 0 #4 February 16, 2004 Welllllll ..... OK. He also eats newspaper, the kids school awards off the fridge, college admisison forms, shoes (he prefers leather clogs with wooden soles, thank you), corners of the cabinets, parts of the garage door, and the wooden parts of puppy/baby gates. I have a shock collar charging right now. Should I start on "low" or go straight to "clear!"? I may try the food thing. Dunno what else to do -- though it has been at least 9 days since I switched formulas (same brand, different chunks). Curious that it's only mornings though ...Wendy "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used u Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
