Ok group, Pippen is sick again. He has always had problems with his bowl movements. So every once in a while I notice he isn’t going potty like he should and I start him up on Pumpkin. After a few scoops of that he seems to pass what ever got stuck, and everything goes back to normal. Well this time he doesn’t seem to be able to pass it, what ever it is. He has been going potty twice every day, but it is a small stool and kind of loose. And he sometimes cries when I walk past him. I am of course taking him it to see our vet. But I just want to know what kind of questions should I ask him? And what kind of things should I ask done on him to make certain he gets the best care I can get him? Is it normal for some Chi’s to have these sort of problems. Pippen has always had this problem, where as Belle our other chi, she is slightly bigger. And she hasn’t had this problem ever. I asked my vet earlier about this when it first happen when he was a puppy. She said that they like to eat a lot of different stuff, and so of course with a small system it gets stuck sometimes. So to do what I have been doing and just watch him. It is kind of gross but I always watch my dogs, to make certain they are having a proper bowl movements. I also know that Chi’s can have a nerves problem too, and that can cause problems with their going potty. We recently got a new puppy, she is a big breed puppy and she has tried to play with Pippen. I never let her do so, but he has become quite frighten of her. So when ever she passes his cage he yelps like she has tromped on him. Could that cause him to have bad bowl movements too? Any helpful info you can give me would be great. God bless.
