Hi everyone,
sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Bingley has been with us for a week now. His stools were a little sloppy on his first afternoon here but since then they have never been normal. We were advised by the breeder and the vet during his vaccination appointment that this can be common as they settle in and adjust to a new home etc. After going to poop he has been running his back end across the ground. Last night we got a little worried as this started being accompanied by a little whine/cry. I called the vet who said he probably had worms, we were given a milbemax when he was vaccinated to give to him when he is due to be wormed (6th Jan). The breeder wormed him with Panacur so the vet said it was probably best to wait until he was due to give him the milbemax. She also told us to give him some probiotic yogurt to help with his stools, which we've been doing. She also asked me to put sudocrem on him which we've done too as he was pretty red and sore from scratching his back end on the floor.
He's just gone out now and the whininy and dragging his bottom seems to be getting worse. After having a poo he runs, almost scuttles, around whining a little bit with a slightly arched back. It seems to be worse in the evening, in fact this morning he was full of beans and the liveliest we've ever seen him, but this evening it has come back. He's asleep now, i hope he is ok tonight.
I'm ringing the vet in the morning, but has anyone else experienced anything else like this? i hate hearing him make that horrid squeeky cry noise
