I have a 3 year old toy chihuahua I adopted last Friday, He woke me up at 2am, and there was wet and dry dog poop all over my room (some with mucous bloody looking liquid) - and he hasn't pooped in the house up till now. I took him to the vet, he said it was because of the diet change. I paid $100, got a bunch of exams, special food and medicine. Then I took him for a walk. I'm stressing out so much, I got my answer from the vet but I feel so overwhelmed. Any words of encouragement? I feel awful. He is my first dog.

Did the vet say if it was the new diet or just the change? I know some dogs have a lot of issues when it's changed and giving you a NEW food if the change itself is the problem seems not very helpful.

Other's will comment on it they are a lot more knowledgable about food/diet than I am.

But it will be fine. He might feel bad but at least now you know it's not anything life threatening :)

I'm sorry he said it was the environmental change, not so much the diet change - but it could be both. The special food was for gastrointestinal issues. Thank you for the reply! The little guy is so bummed and confused :(
