I have two boxer mix puppies that are 15 weeks old. Both seem happy and healthy, playful. The female is high strung, the male is pretty mellow. They both sleeps in separate crates at night or they will play or fight.
We are having issues with the male pooping in his crate at night. He has been tested for parasites, negative. He has been dewormed 3 times. He was put on metronidazole , 2 courses now, and while on the meds, he doesn't poop in his crate. Within 24 hours of being off the meds, he starts pooping at 2am or somewhere around that time. He does not wake me until after he has done it, I am a light sleeper so the minute he whines, I get up anticipating he needs to go potty but he has already done it by now. I don't know what to do. I have two other dogs, that have never had issues and have had them since puppies. Please help, deprived sleep.
