I thought that, but unfortunately because I'm in the sticks, I'm out of jurisdiction and so don't qualify for it. I just wondered if what is happening, has happened to anybody else.
PS. Croc, yes I did laugh at that. Smiler

It could be constipation. My cat had problems lasting for years, but I never had this with my dog. Have you changed his diet recently? Or perhaps he needs more fluids and or fibre in his diet? If he is getting on in years he may need a diet more suitable for his age. You could try asking for advice at a reputable pet shop perhaps?

My dog Murphy started doing it a couple of years ago when he was about 12. It carried on until he died last year. I think it was just an age thing. It was never full poos, just like little nuggets, it usually happened when he passed wind and got a little bit more than he bargained for. Blush Most of the time he seemed oblivious to it. His younger brother Paddy has started doing it occassionally now too. Try putting him outside a litle more frequently than normal and encouraging him to poo while he's there.

Has there been any changes in your household recently? My dog pukes all over the house when someone goes on holiday and has developed a phobia of suitcases (yes really!)

Also does he/she seem ashamed when he/she does it?

He hates it yogi. He waits until I've washed everything down and changed his bedding and then I still have to call him in. I hate it when he feels embarrassed because it's not his fault. He's been such a clean dog for 13 years, it breaks my heart.

So at least that rules out he is protesting against something Hug I know how you must feel though, my angel (who is asleep beside me) is coming up for 13 now and her legs don't work as they should. It breaks your heart especially when you know they think they are going to get a row

I think it’d be best to get him checked over hon, my dog has started wetting himself (he’s 13) and the vet wants to see him (and wants a sample, GREAT – cue chasing him round the garden with a plastic cup!), they reckon incontinence is often treatable, even when they're oldies.


Laugh Bet you he will give you some strange looks.

Him AND the neighbours Laugh
He’s a bit deaf so hopefully I’ll be able to sneak up and catch him unawares
