denisetanaka Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi, Maybe is just a silly question, I know each dog has their own metabolism, but how many times is expected for a Greyhound to poop? Laila used to poop 4 to 5 times!!! really soft and huge poo and suddenly after 3 months, and now more confident at her new home she reduced her pooping times to 2-3 times a day, medium size and more firm. Should I be concerned about any health issues or is it normal, due the fact she is spooked and now is more comfortable with us? No recently diet changes.

locket Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 We walk 3 times per day and since that makes them poop, they poop 2 to 3 times per day. As long as its firm and normal sized, I'd say that's pretty much normal.

smurfette Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I guess she starts to settle in and becomes less nervous. In Germany we have a saying "der Stress schlaegt mir auf den Magen" means stress effects the stomach and creates trouble with digestion. Quote Sorry for butchering the english language.

Feisty49 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) It's an individual thing. My Annie poos at least 3 times a day and if we get in an extra walk, she always manages to squeeze something else out bringing the total to 4. If it looks good and is firm, or as long as it's not diarrhea, no worries. My girl has formed poos but they squish so I can't say they are firm.

ramonaghan Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Sweep goes 2-4 times per day depending on how many walks she gets, and it's usually softer by the 3rd or 4th.

rsieg Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 My guys each go 2-3 times on a single walk, and we walk twice daily. Quote Rob Logan (April 7, 2010 - July 9, 2023) - - Max (August 4, 2004 - January 11, 2018) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I've had dogs who would poop on every walk, plus in the yard, so up to 4-5 times a day, and others who would only go once a day. It sounds like your girl's early poops were stress related and she has now settled into what is normal for her. and yes, we can all talk at length about dog poop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
