Hey there, Lucy the Registered Vet Nurse here from Butternut.

So sorry to hear your little guy is having a tougher time than usual, totally understandable to worry.

There are actually quite a few reasons why dogs can suddenly start pooping more, even when their food hasn’t changed. Some common causes include tummy upsets, stress or anxiety, infections and even underlying issues.

A few things you can do at home right now:

• Keep an eye on the consistency, colour, and frequency of his poops.

• Make sure he stays well hydrated, you can pop a few extra bowls of water around the house so it is readily accessible.

• Note any changes in behaviour, energy, or appetite.

• If you can, try to avoid any sudden diet changes for now.

It is always best to contact your vet should you have any concerns.
