[weetingtan]

i just begin to raise a puppy. My puppy is mini schnauzer. I realize she make big business for 2 times for the 1st day. But today she do it for 3 times. I only feed her 2 times daily - morning and night. Is it normal for her to do it 3 times daily?

Thanks

hahaha nice title I think it is quite normal depending on the quantity of food which you gave your puppy during those 2 meal times. Watch out if the poop is abnormal (Diarrhea) though.

[dog is my buddy]

If diarrhea, another common symptom in miniature schauzer, is indicated by loose,soft and often abundant stools.
Causes may be the consumption of irritating and indigestible material, changes or upsets in the dog's normal routine, would you recall this few day gave what the food to the dog?
To treat diarrhea at home, do not feed it for 24 hour, restricting it to ice cubes.
The next day, offer small amounts of the bland food described to treat vomiting. continue the procedure for three more days. even if the comdition is improves.
If diarrhea persists for over twenty four hours, is accompanied by vomiting, fever or other signs of distress. It need bring to veterinarian.
My last year X'mas I gave Carffour homemade Hotdog to my 3 miniature schauzer, Next morning I saw shits every where, also with vomited. It going bad day for me. All of 3 get sick same day , same time, see same veterinarian, pay X 3 medical fee.
+ Santa bring gift to me!

Dear Nivek,

How can I determine the poop is abnormal, from my obversation for 2 days, the poop seem to be very much alike. Hopefully is ok.

To petfinder helper,
I just bought the puppy. This is only the 3rd day. Everyday, I am giving the same type of food. This is the food recomended from my breeder - the shop since they are giving the same brand and type of food. She is not very stress because she still not too comfortable with the new environment. How can i know that she is with fever? Normally, what is the max times of POO POO?

Please advice further.

Simply put solid poop are good while watery ones are bad
