• I know it's no help but for what it's worth I remember Otto going through a similar phase when he was a pup. Just an incredibly sensitive stomach. It was like he had the shits for weeks, or at least that is what it felt like.

    At the time we thought we realised that it was his training treats and not his main food that seemed to give him the squirts. But tbh, who knows.

    Are you sure his training treats aren't the problem? Some of them a super high fat... I'm any case maybe this is just a phase they go through while developing their adult iron constitutions.

  • thanks for the replies both, as is the case with most of this stuff I think we're doing the right thing it just takes someone else confirming that to you for peace of mind.

    Are you sure his training treats aren't the problem?

    yeah, when he gets a dodgy tummy we cut back on them altogether for a few days and no change.

    All I know is I would rather not have to try and ineffectively scoop up puddle(s) of bright yellow'y orange liquid shit with a tiny biodegradable poop bag in the middle of the brighton pavilion gardens footpath during peak tourist hours, leaving a big smeared mess in my wake again if I had the choice.

  • Funnily enough, I had to try to pick up a puddle of dog diarrhoea not far from BPG a couple of years ago...I hear you!

  • BTW, Otto loves cockerpoos. His best friend is one. They play for hours. We should meet up with them at some point when we're back from Switzerland. Otto's good with pups too.

  • Did it immediately follow the worming tablets you mentioned? Ours had a worming tablet over the Christmas period and I’m fairly sure that the speed of flow that ensued must be designed to dislodge any nasties because he was a nightmare to clean up after for a couple of days
