    My puppy's poop this morning was the color and consistancy of an egg yolk? Any ideas why?

    Contact your veterinarian immediately. Your puppy could have Parvovirus.

    Is the puppy eating?
    Is the puppy lethargic?
    Is the puppy also vomiting?
    Is the poop very foul-smelling?
    Is there any blood in the stool?

    *Edit* Oops! I meant to make clear that these are some common symptoms of Parvovirus and that if the puppy exhibits any of these in addition to the yellow stool, a veterinarian should be contacted.

    I would be a little slower to call the vet if the puppy is otherwise its usually, active self. They often forage something that disagrees with them.

    However, parvo is nothing to mess with, https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/pets-a...ppy-40327.html

    Sounds like it could be a protazoa called Coccidia. Any other symptoms? Age? History of where you got him/her?

Our Lhasa is now 10 months old. As a puppy we have had food available pretty much at all times, but maybe he's getting past that now, and for his weight should maybe only be fed about a cup to a cup and a half of his dog meal a day. We have been using Wysong, by the way, and it seems to have a...
