Hello
I have a 9 month old boxer. He has a strange bathroom routine that I'm trying to decide if it's vet worthy. In the morning he has a normal, solid go. When I return from work he immediately goes 1 and 2. The #2 is solid and normal. Within 20 minutes he has to go #2 again. This time it's like diarhea. Seems odd to me. He eats his normal 2 meals everyday in one sitting. The next day it's the same thing. It's only the afternoon poop. Any ideas??

Thank you

This doesnt seem to be to much of a problem to me, but im not a vet either, he is still have a solid #2 , so its not all diarhea, my dog sometimes also has really soft #2 not every day but a few times a week, it could be the food you are feeding him, may not totally agree with the dog, you could try switching foods and see what that will do, bare in mind often when you switch foods for the first few days (maybe more) there #2's may be changed, its just there body adjusting to the food. if it persisits, its not the food.

As long as your dog is staying at a healthy weight and still eating, and drinking and playing normal, and all of his behavour seems normal to you, i wouldnt worrie about this.

as i said before sometimes my dog has really solid #2's and sometimes its really soft.

but as allways if you are really concerned with it, just talk to you vet.

hope this helps!
