Hi I am new to this forum but I wanted to ask if anyone knows and could maybe help me. My dog has 4 and half week old puppies last week I started them on puppy chow, solid foods. Mamma (star) is still cleaning up there poops and so on I also knowing her........is eating left overs of the chow which let me tell you maybe the rim of the plate so she is not getting much there but when she eats there poops. Well seems since I have put the dogs on the chow she has had the runs bad. I didnt think anything at first, she eats cat food once in while when she gets into it and she has runs but they go away. This has been going on for a week now since I have had the puppies on chow..........Thing is that it is not getting better it is getting worse, it is now watery. She is not losing wieght coat shiny, acually she is gaining and even vet said she looks good for a nursing mom not to thin (you know how they lose some wieght look all skinny) She is not acting sick. I amm just getting worried now. I am going to take her down and ask the vet tomorrow.......(ofcourse today being sunday) I dont know is this normal. Unfortanatly the puppys have bad fleas too and she cleans them. I cant do anything being there so young. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of maybe what I could feed her to stop the runs or help. Like a baby or us toast rice you know a brat diet? She has is eating just fine, is active, and as I said I am going to take her to our vet tomorrow. We are so lucky we have a wonderful vet any advice would be much appreciated. Thankyou
