Yorkie Poo Pup Soft Stool

by Akeal

I have a 12 week old yorkie poo who's bowel movement is always liquidy or really soft.

I know this may be his food, so is there anything recomended to feed him so his stool will be more firm.

I have been feeding him Royal Canine Puppy food.



Hi Akeal
It is possible that your pup is having difficulty digesting his food, but there could be other reasons for his loose stools too.

I would recommend that you make sure your pup has had a stool sample taken and examined by your vet, to rule out any internal parasites such as worms or parasitic diseases such as Coccidiosis which can cause loose stools or diarrhea.

I'd also recommend that you check out my Puppy Diarrhea page as it has lots of tips and advice on dealing with this fairly common problem. There's also a natural product featured on that page that is effective in soothing a pups' digestive system without drugs or side-effects. You can also find other natural products that may help in this sort of situation on my Natural Remedies For Dogs page.

Best of luck, hope this helps and that your pups' bowels improve.
