kamuzz Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Mine don't get the runs, but one always has to stop for #2 when out walking. The girl never seems to need a poo stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggles Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi Charli, Maverick does get the runs from time to time but not always after excersie. I notice it most after he has eaten lamb flaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Charli- I have never noticed it with dogs I have worked with(no GSD's) What does your vet say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucknow Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 One of mine used to get loose stools as opposed to diarrhoea, she was a total stress head and it improved as she got older and calmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't asked him but will make sure I do tomorrow... Its more really soft stools rather than liquid.... but it seems to be after a good run... but she never gets excercised after eating..

Flaves Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Maybe she is like a human. I know i have to go to the loo after a run around. If it is loose rather than sloppy that could be why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps excersise stimulates the bowel. What did the vet say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean26 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I know exercise in humans loosens up the bowels.... Maybe similar with dogs too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes back on rice and chicken till i can get her looked at, shes got the runs a bit, think its the treats I leave out for her during the day.. off to the vet perhaps..
