Can a change in crate location cause stress/diareahh?

SadieFern · 03-31-2008, 07:47 AM

I know I spelled that wrong. Anyway...we moved Sadie's crate to the bedroom last night (from the kitchen). It's a long story why but anyway, she was up at midnight and again at 3 a.m. with loose stools.
Is it just a coincidence or was it the change in sleeping location? I was with her the whole night. She's just about six months old. Thanks for any and all advice!

Well, since it's still going on this a.m., I guess it wasn't the change in sleeping arrangements!
I gave her some pumpkin & yogurt and I'll probably give her some pepto before bed tonight.
Any other suggestions? Should I not give her a regular afternoon meal today? She's already had her regular breakfast of kibble & canned food.

hmmm...I think a change in routine can stress them out, but it sounds like the diarrhea came on very quickly. Hope she feels better!!

Feel better Sadie! As far as dinner tonight I would see what she does today. If she still has runny stools after the pumpkin and yogart I would go with rice tonight and then rice and chicken or ground beef for tomorrow's meals.

Sometimes a change in routine can be enough to cause a tummy upset. Dogs are definitely creatures of habit.
