Hello everyone, I’m hoping somebody can offer some advice!
Our 8 month old cocker stopped toileting in the house completely in January - since then she has been sleeping through the night and waiting for us to let her in the garden in the morning. She usually does a poop in the morning and a poop in the evening.
However for the last five days she has had diarrhoea. The first day was the worst, and the last few days have been mild to moderate. She has stopped her usual toileting routine and for the last three nights has done a runny poop on the kitchen floor, around 4/5/6am. I really try to get her to toilet outside for ages before bed, with playing in the garden, taking her for a walk, but she doesn’t poop.
Her food is still the same, her behaviour is still the same, she is still a crazy cocker spaniel, the only recent thing I can think of that could be affecting her is her bad habit of trying to drink from puddles even though we stop her (and it has been raining a lot more in the last week or so), and she has also licked some cow dung in the last couple of weeks.
Does anyone know how I can get her digestive system back on track??
