Just been informed by the OH that she's done her business outside at last... but it's runny and green :gag:
She's been chewing at the plants a bit, and eating mud and grass over the last few days, could it be that? I'm a bit worried, could it be to do with the dead bird she was chewing on? :?

It will be the plants, mine are obsessed with killing plants too, with past puppies I have had some spectacular cases of the runs with them as a result, and sometimes resulting in a trip to the vets :rolleyes:

Just keep an eye on her , make sure she is drinking water , you are still worried ring your vets( If its Peak vets they will advise you) ask them what you should do and if you should worry.

Nightmare animals - Josh is prone to upset tums too, so it takes little to upset him. But the warm weather may not be helping and if she is eating grass its classed as a natural medicine and an attempt to sort the tum out, probably the dead bird!!!!!

thanks everyone, she has been better this evening and has been her usual bouncy self. we've made sure she has fresh water and has been drinking it, probably was just that poor bird! she's currently curled up on my belly snoring away after a long day of playing and going on her longest walk yet http://photos-e.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v250/82/97/778435231/n778435231_3061476_8163.jpg :hihi:
