I wanted to get some input on something that happened with my dogs the other day. Background: I have a two year old GSD, well trained companion dog. We have a new GSD pup in the house for three weeks now. So far they have been getting along really well. No aggression from my older dog. I keep the pup in an ex-pen or crate and treat my older dog much the same as before (if not with a gentle hand since I know he's a bit freaked out at the new addition). Anyway, the other day I left him in the house for an hour and came home to find a big diarrhea type poop upstairs (VERY unusual for him). It could have been that he just had diarrhea and had to go but I'm wondering if it was something else? He's hasn't had a mess in the house in a LONG time (since he was a pup)...could he be trying to tell me something? Or as my agility trainer likes to say....was he giving me the finger?
If it wasn't the usual consistancy of his poop, I'd say it was simply an accident. If it happens often now and it is of usual consistancy, I'd say he was having some adjustment problems.
Just like when little kids go to kindergarten, come home in a week or two with colds and the parents get sick too, the young "cook up" virus. I 'd bet he caught a little puppy virus, maybe has enough immunity not to become really ill, just enough for one big poop upstairs!
3 wks is just about the incubation period.
