Puppy poo - Page 1

My puppy has been having cow patty like poops mixed with hard poops is this any to be worried about I recently changed his food and also the breeder gave me some albon I started him on that today he is 3 months old and weighs   22 pounds

not enough info....

did you change the food slowly?
what was it eating and what is it eating now?
how old is the dog?
how active is it?
what vaccinations has it had?
when was the last vaccination?
where have you taken it in the last 10 days?
are there any toys missing or partly missing?

Albon is used to treat coccidia. The breeder may have or had a coccidia issue with your litter. Food changes & stress like a new home, no more more mom and dad etc can cause loose stool as well. Your puppy must have access to water. A bit more caution in hydrating the little guy. Keep your puppy well hydrated while your using that or getting through the cow patties..

Don't break the cycle and forget with albon, and the first day you need to dose more. Not telling you how much more do your research or follow the vets instructions as given to the breeder. If you don't know this or where not told this already probably should not be giving the medicine without a vet visit or more homework. Although it is fairly safe.

If it persist's or the patties get a little bloody or mucusey (sp?) off to the professionals with your kid.

Coccida is not real worrisome. But you dont know what you have or is going on unless the breeder had an issue with this litter already. Keep an eye on the poo and the water bowl even if you wait to medicate.

Ps. Its very catchy if the kid has it, you can have a house load of infection including you. Extra cleanliness is a real good idea. Clean the water bowl every time you fill it. Throw the patties out in the garbage after the deposit not on a schedule.

Good luck
