Not AGAIN!!!!! :(:(:(

being house trained might be hard on her, but taking her to work might have triggered it aswell. Its so easy to upset a small breed puppy.

We don't take our small breed puppies for walks in the store or let them run free in the puppy love room. That seems to be too stressful on them & they have runny poops all over the place & then they poop too much in their kennels & get covered in poop. We find leaving them in their kennels is MUCH easier on them, because its something they know. We pet them & hold them all the time, but they never go far from their kennels. Everytime someone wants to look at them with intent to buy one, they usually get upset, so we try to make this quick & painless for the puppy.

When you said there is very little blood. Is is as small as a drop of blood? Cause thats the amount we see in stressed dogs.

Oh & keep up the pedialyte, as mentioned above, she can get dehydrated from getting the runs & not drinking.

If she still refuses to drink on her own, get a syringe (sp) & give her a couple drops in her cheak, at a time, until shes had about 5cc. DO this MANY times through out the day & keep her quiet & on your property. Don't let friends handle her & try to snuggle her lots, if she likes that.

If she pooping every 20 mins, bring her outside every 20 mins & when she poops or pees (even if its runny) PRAISE her like crazy, uses the excited baby talk, our puppies at work go NUTS for excited baby talk :)

We taught one puppy to smile, but he only does it if you say smile in the excited baby talk.

So her being ill like this might be an advantage to the house training. Just make sure shes peeing & isn't constapated.

Shes not allowed outside yet...shes too tiny..and..shes being housetrained with puppy pads :)

The earlier you start training her to go potty outside the better, TRUST me. Puppy pads are good for at night when you're sleeping or if you're gone during the day, but if you're home you REALLY need to start bringing ehr outside. Otherwise she'll get so used to going on the pads you're going to have a much harder time training her to go outside :(

her collar doesnt even fit, and we are afraid she will slip outta it...
and...we'll just use puppy pads for now...

Aww. I hope she is alright :)

ok, then every 20 mins put her on the puppy pad & praise her every time she goes, whether its runny or not. If she just squats & tries to go, but nothing comes out, praise her for that. & say simething along the lines of tink pee peed YAY!

Cause then later on, all you have to do is say, tink do you have to pee pee? & she should run to the door. Thats how we trained our big guy.

Also alot of people litter train their small dogs, so the dog doesn't have to go out in the heat or in the freezing cold.

Since she seems sensitive, litter training might be best. You should use sentless litter & a little box with a lid, cause alot of small dogs will play in the clean litter (which shouldn't be encouraged).

Hope this helps :)

Yeah....she does get cold easily, so I'll try it...nows shes up running around :D

thats a good sign :)

yup! :D I can't wait to take her outside though...we have to buy her a leash, and then she will probably be allowed :D

OH just a thought -- you said she's too small for her collar and you're afraid it will slip off?? Well for smaller dogs actually you should probably get a harness instead. ;D

a harness would be even bigger on her :p lol she weighs a little over a pound!!! :eek:

Try getting a harness for a ferret or bunny ;)

That's a trick I used to tell people while working at PetCo. They would come in looking for collars for ITTY BITTY almost newborn kittens. The regular cat and kitten collars would be too big so I just told them to get a ferret collar. :)
