I understand there is a learning curve but Teddy is certainly trying our patience the last couple of days.

Last night when I got home from work I took him out 3 times between 5:15 and 6 pm - he did his pee and then just wanted to play.  We weren't in the house for 10 more minutes and he pooped on the floor!   This morning - same thing - except he pooped inside twice! after going out 3 different times.  Hubby is not impressed!

He was doing so well too!

Ack!  Its frustrating!!

At my house, with behaviour like that, its the kids in their rooms, not the pets. 

That poor kid!!  She's gonna have a real eye-opener someday when she discovers that the rest of the world won't cater to her every whim.  Thats life honey, deal with it!

Congrats!!!

I already have 2 kids (6&4) so decided to get a puppy instead of another child!  LOL!

Doc said that nothing showed in the sample from today but she would like another sample next week "hot off the press" as she put it  .  She said its probably nothing to worry about, maybe just a broken blood vessel or something sratchy in his stool, but she wants to do a smear test for giardia and coccidia - just to be certain.
She also wants me to keep a diary about his poops!  LOL!  What we don't do for our dogs!

Wow - he's gorgeous!

Since getting Teddy, I'm beginning to understand why people dress their dogs up in bandanna's - its not for looks, its a portable towel!

Teddy has had a couple of stools with blood is them.  Last night, on his overnight paper, I found a spot that was all red, about 1.5" across with a tiny piece of soft poop in it.  I'm starting to get a little freaked!

He is acting, eating, and drinking normally.

He was wormed and had his 2nd set of shots a week ago (Mar. 23).  He has also thrown up at least 3 times since his vet visit.  Could the blood in the stool be because of the wormer or a reaction to the vaccinations? 

I took a sample in to the vet this morning and they are going to take a look.  Has anyone else had this trouble with their pup?

Somebody please tell me this is normal and is nothing to worry about!  Please??

Adorable!!!!

Welcome!!  I'm pretty new to BPO too, but I can agree that this place is seriously addictive!  LOL!

I'm new to Saints as we've only had Teddy a month - but I'm lovin' every minute of it!  I can't imagine being without him now.  I also have 2 children (6&4), 2 cats, and 2 fishtanks.  I like a busy house - LOL!

Hope to see you around more!
