frequent nightly potty trips

[dieselDave55]

Howdy;


The boys, Poncho and Cisco are now 12 weeks and doing well. But 9 days ago Poncho started with frequent (3 times a nite) nightly (midnight to 4 AM) potty trips. Not exactly diahrea but certainly not normal a stool . Doesn't appear to have stomach pain. All other signs are normal i.e. playing, sleeping durning the day, eating, ect. .
We have taken him to the vet and hard test done . No problems.
We have also eliminated all treats (boiled chicken breast, Nylabones). We went to strickly his Nutro Ultra puppy food ( his brother does just fine with it). Yesterday we added plain Yogert to his food to help digestion.
Since I'm the one who is up every night with him, I was hoping someone could tell me how long to expect that the yogert would take to work or if there is something else I could try?

thanks, dD

have you tried giving him boiled rice?Is he doing better since you posted this?

Yes veguroev, Poncho is doing much better. :) The wife and I had decided to replace the dog food with boiled brown rice and chicken if he hadn't improved by yesterday. Thank you for that suggestion.
Like an infant baby, Poncho can't tell us what maybe other symptoms so we feel kind of helpless when a problem like this continues after so many attempts to resolve his issue.
Today Poncho is just as playful and normal as ever, so we will cross our fingers for tonight. The wife and I take turns staying up all night listening at his crate for any whimper that inticates he wants out or is in distress. Last night was my turn again . The sleepless nights are taking there toll on all of us.
Thanks, dD
