Just need some advice

So chip is now 10 weeks. He has been in his crate since we got him. Now usually he is fine but the last 3 nights he has done poos in his crate. I feed him 3 times a day and he doesnt have anything to eat after half 5 apart from a couple of small treats. Yesterday I think he had an upset tummy as he didnt eat anything and had the runs. Now I have been told that this is sometimes normal for pups is this true? Also he is out plenty only in the garden twice a day off the lead running around playing with toys practicing recall plus any other time he cries to go out for the toilet and I put the lead on so he can get used to it. I am just worried as he still didnt eat much today only about a third of what he usually eats.

Michelle and Chip.

Because he's so young you need to keep an eye on him, if he's the same today I'd be getting him checked out

Please let us know how he is xxx

I'd do the same, given him a day to get over it, if he is no better than take him to the vets, he is so young and so it might seem trivial but what would you do if it was a 10 week old baby, that's how we think.

Same again - too young to take chances.

So Chip is a lot better today he has been eating fine and plenty of normal poos today. He is a much better mood today aswell so lively back to his normal self. So glad and if he had not got any better today we would have went to the vet. I do very much think of him as my fourth child lol. He is just amazing he still does new things every day. I guess i am a worrier. I thought he looked a bit lean but he still putting weight on and eating plenty and at last vet visit a week ago she said he looked great and never had any concerns. He is also getting better everyday and is no longer nipping any of the kids which is great but i still monitor their play with him just in case they are to rough.

Will get some new pics up soon.

Thanks for the advice.
