my puppy is a king charles and it still has soft poo-poo what can i do to stop this?

Answer 1

Pups normaly have soft stools as long as they arnt watery or have a strange oder or color your pup is fine and it will become more adult like as he grows

Answer 2

first we need to no, age of puppy,and what do you feed puppy on. If he/she is over 8 weeks and no long feeding from mum, and eating chews, this can cause this problem as rawhide is very rich and the stomachs cant cope. Maybe feeding pup on died food for a while and no other treats. If this doesn't clear up you need to take pup to the vets. Have you wormed the puppy? Depending on age, will depend on how much and when to worm, is it a good make of worming tablet or a cheap and cheerful one! Have a look to see if there are any worms in it.
Is pup feeding and drinking ok? You must make sure your puppy is drinking enough fluids as diarrhoea will dehydrate, mix some water with food. You really need to look at what you are giving you dog during the day. Remember human choc is very bad for dogs, it contains a chemical that they can not break down. Good luck.

Answer 3

I bet it isn't a king charles at all. I bet it is a Cavalier king charles ;0) 2 seperate breeds.
When you say it has soft poo, do you mean it has the runs? What are you feeding it and how old is it and is it innoculated and wormed? Did you buy from a proper breeder or a dog dealer.

Answer 4

As mentioned before your puppy's stool will harden as it becomes older, but as with babies, every dog no matter the breed will have unique digestive systems. Therefor changing thier brand of food to fit thier digestive needs is important in the first year. A very time consuming and aggravating process that consits of trial and error. Remember when changing brands of food you should always wein the puppy off its old food gradually by mixing the new food @1/3 cup to the old food @3/4 cup, and gradually increase the new food as the stool becomes firmer. If through the changing of food you see no difference, or worsens, stop the dry food all together and use a cooked white rice and baby food(recommended carrots, sweet potato, chicken, or turkey,) Use the 1st step baby food. When stool returns to a normal, proceed with a new brand of food, recommendations that have seem to help puppies of any size or breed are your higher end products such as Canidae, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Iams, and so on. Rice and lamb formula is always a better bet with a puppy who starts with soft stools. The spelling of those brands are not correct but I'm sure you'll recognize thier names. Remember as said before excess treats, table scrapes, or all the things that puppy's chew up will have an affect on the softness or firmness of thier stool, depending on the amount consumed and how well thier digestive systems break down foriegn food.

Answer 5

As long as the puppy isn't actually having diarrhea the consistency of the stool has a lot to do with the food. Certain foods just don't get processed as well. I've had this issue twice with my dogs. The first time was with an adopted Greyhound who was feeding on Nature's Recipe (I don't think this brand exists anymore). For 8 months I catered to him and his bowel issues trying to improve the food by adding acidophilus and yogurt. I finally got frustrated and changed his food to Proplan Lamb and rice. Lamb and rice diets cater a little more to dogs that have a more sensitive stomach. His stools instantly became normal. It was simply the food that was an issue. Sometimes dogs can react to things like corn meal.

The last dog I got was given to me on the diet of Nutro. I had the same issue with her stool, so I switched her to what my other dogs are on. Proplan. I know of many vets that use Proplan themselves. It is a high quality Purina product. The grocery store equivalent is Purina One.

Good luck

Answer 6

If it is soft to the point where you would call it diarrhea, a child's dose of Kaopectate works well. Do NOT give the puppy Imodium unless you really have a problem--at that point, you need a vet. Checking your pup for worms wouldn't hurt if you haven't already taken in a fecal sample. Dry diet, no table scraps, helps a lot, too.

Answer 7

i have a king charles! When he was a puppy we gave him goats milk? (does it ring a bell) when we went to the vet we told him/her what he has been drinking and eating. he stopped and his poo-poo started getting solid. so we now give him some water. (Stops Dehydration)

Hope your cute Lil Pooch gets Well

Answer 8

when my pup had the problem the vet and obedience trainer both told me it's the food. Puppy Chow for instance is high in soy beans ... beans do the same for dogs as for people. So look for a better mix in the foods. I switched to Iams and the problem was gone. Better food for healthier dog ... he's been on Iams foods since a pup, now going on 10 yrs and still his coat is great and the vet says he's doing great for his age, still acts like a youngster.

Answer 9

It depends on what diet your feeding him,a dry diet is much better then soft food as it makes there poo harder.

Answer 10

May be you should think about changing the diet.My dog always had soft motions from tinned dog meat
