My puppy is pooping gel??? Is he sick?

My 8 week old puppy started pooping a gel-like substance tonight, it smells awful and looks like a clear brown gel. He's done this about 3 or 4 times tonight. His stomach is making some pretty loud noises too, like when we have diarreah. We haven't switched his diet at all, he eats Iams ProActive Health Puppy, the only difference within the last week is the addition of rawhide chew sticks, as he is constantly chewing whatever he can get his teeth on. He doesn't seem particularly lethargic to me, either. FYI he hasn't had any shots yet. What's wrong with him?

My puppy is pooping gel??? Is he sick?
Okay...





- Did he eat something foreign? Rat poison? Drink some lysol? Something like that?


-Change the food. IAMS IS BAD FOOD. Don't buy ANYTHING sold at Petco. Vets only say eat this eat that because they're paid to.


-Feed your dog Canidae, Eagle Pack, Wellness, Evo, Chicken's Soup..., Natural Balance, or Blue Buffalo. Those are perfect examples of good food.


-Iams has by-products, fillers, and corn in it. Everything just listed is just barely a quarter of the crap they put in the commercial food. Lots of dogs have problems with these foods.


-Contact your vet and get your dog checked out ASAP. Besides the food, he could have swallowed something.


-No shots?? Where did you get this guy from?
Reply:keep an eye on the little guy


make sure he's eating and


drinking normal. it could


be from eating something


that didn't agree with him


you could call a vet and


see what he thinks.


good luck
Reply:With out shots yet you should take him to the vet. It could be several things. one being parvo.. that is deadly. I would say take him in to the vet and have him looked at.


Take the Raw hide from him and get him a puppy kong.. or another chew toy... a raw hide can plug him up... hence cause blockage or diarrhea.
Reply:It sounds like he may have something as simple as a sour stomache. Than again, it could be something serious, like Colitis, which needs immediate medical attention. Is he throwing up? Is there blood in the poop? I hate to say it, but I would call the vet in the am to find out. Could he maybe have gotten into something? I think with him being so young, you'll probably have to take him in to the vet.
Reply:Go to the vet, ASAP.


No shots, young pup, rawhide sticks, not so great food.


We can't tell you what is going on.


Ask the vet when you go...tomorrow!
Reply:Call a vet, now! Better to be safe then sorry with puppys that little. Poor little guy, I hope everything turns out good.

Reply:yes your pup needs to go to the vet asap. he could indeed have swallowed something bad or he could have a disease. if he hasn't had his first shots (which all reputable breeders make sure of before the pup goes home) then he probably hasn't been wormed either so he could have parasites.





edit: oh and that guy is right about iams being junk. vets do get paid to push the stuff so your pup would be better off with one of the foods he listed, read the lable if you aren't sure..but iams is over-rated junk
Reply:I would get him to a vet as soon as possible. You need to get his shots as soon right away. I hope is not parvo because most dogs die from that if not treated in time. I wouldn't give him anymore rawhide until you get him to the vet. It also could be worms since he hasn't had any shots.
Reply:GO TO THE VET, NOW, NOW, NOW!!





Our puppy had all the same signs and it was parvo. If you don't nip that quick it is VERY deadly. Go get help for your dog!!





I hope it all turns out alright and good luck.
Reply:My dog did that when he was little and it was because he ate something he wasnt supposed to.


The Vet advised me not to feed him anything not even water for at lease the next day. He said it was for his stomach to degest what ever he had eaten.





He had eaten lots of chicken from the trash..........
Reply:Ok,dont be alarmed when i tell you this. He has a rare parasite. It will keeping growing and growing and growing untill.....BLAM a worm like creature will come bursting out of his back. then....it will infect you. RUN!!!!
