Watery Stools

[Cherry Heart]

Arwen is 12 weeks old right now and has been a pretty healthy pup. She had coccidiosis when we got her and caught it before symptoms showed so we were told she would be fine. We feed her two cups of Canidaes a day in 4 1/2cup servings, and she only gets Old Mother Hubbard mini biscuits when were teaching sit and down, and when she does a good potty outside (We break them in half so she isn't eating 20 biscuits a day). We were told when we got her that she was the one in the litter who was a poop eater and to watch out for it. For the last 4 weeks we haden't seen her even take a look at it so didn't think much of it. Then the past few days we have caught her 3 times eating or already ate her own poop. We give her a stern "No" as we take her inside and hope that will end it. Today after we got home from work, Eric took her outside and said she had "Projectile watery poop". Nothing has changed except us catching her eating her poop thoes couple times, and she has had 2 more "Watery Poops" since about 8am, the last one which I witnessed. "Projectile" is a good description and it's very thin brown and smells horrible. I will be taking her to the vet tomarrow if this continues, but is there any advice for me till then?

Projectile??? Take her in ASAP!! THat young, they are still relying on the antibodies from mom, if any are still present, and vaccines probably have not kicked in yet. THey dehydrate FAST!!! Especially with diarhea. THe vet wont delay trying to figure out whats wrong, at that age they just give a shot, and hope for the best. I regretted waiting an extra day with my pup, it almost cost him his life! Within one day, he no longer was eating, nor drinking, and got bloody diarhea. I took him in the next am first thing, and they hooked him up to IV's. If the IV's didn't help, he probably wouldn't be here today, as they would not administer the medecine until he was holding down his food.

Don't want to scare you, but it is better safe than sorry, she is very young.
