…the vet might ask you to take a sample..( the joys of dog ownership)

She might need to be tested for giardia. We carry some sand with us so that if it’s not solid enough to pick up we can clean up as much as possible and put sand down.

Lovely topic. 🤮
I fill 3 poo bags on a walk. Anything after that is too watery to pick up.
I agree that exercise brings it on, a bit like the more adrenaline, the more poo is produced.
Hopefully your vet will advise.

How long are you having to wait for the vet’s appointment. We don’t have dogs but have 4 cats and can normally see our vet on the same day or if not the day after. I wouldn’t be happy waiting too long for the appointment especially as it’s been going on for a while.

They often do a soft poo after exercise. It’s as if they’re trying to squeeze as much out as possible before they get home. I’ve often pondered on how dogs manage to poo out far more than they take in. One of life’s little mysteries…( I can’t imagine what it must be like to own a Giant breed like a St Bernard shock…)

I'd suspect that her food isn't suitable for her. My dog is fine - but only if she never has cereal or chicken.

Strewth- I was just having cereal for breakfast ….

My dog poos about 5 or 6 times a day, which I think is a lot. Her first poo is usually quite firm, but then after that it's really yellow and runny and sometimes even diahorrea. This has been going on for a while and I don't think it's normal. I've booked an appointment with the vet, but just wondering what other dog owners think. Apart from that she's healthy, extremely energetic and seems absolutely fine. Thank you.
