Title: dog has diarea when running around.
Post by: BIGINNER on October 20, 2011, 06:31:17 PM: I have a weimaraner, he's a great dog. Exellent Hunter.

One thing I noticed, it might be normal,... Everytime i let him out to run, he has distraught after about 20 min. Of running, he usually takes a dump 3 to 4 times each time i let him out. His first poop is always normal, then after 10-20 min of running he has distract. This happens every single time. But only when he's running/hunting.

I think that maybe when he runs around the food in his system gets stirred up and gets watery..... I dunno... It doesn't seem to bother him at all. He looks healthy and eats like a horse. I tried different kinds of food and it doesn't change anything.

I'm not really worried,... It's been going on since I got the dog about 7 months ago. I'm just curious if its normal.

I will note that if he just stays in the yard and doesn't run hard or anything he poops normal. Only if he runs hard as if he's hunting.

Also I know that wiemaraners have deep chests and its bad to run them after they eat so I always make sure he eats WAY ahead of hunting/running.

Does anyone have similar experiences? I would love to hear from anyone, especially wiemaraner owners.

One of them goes so much that he eventually squats and nothing comes out I laugh every time it happens when we are out bird hunting

I thought that too. But I tried different kinds of food and it had no effect.

Post by: pens fan on October 21, 2011, 08:33:03 PM: Every dog I owned has done this. I spoke with a guy two weeks ago about this very thing, as the pup I took out for the first time did this. I think it must has something to do with the drive and excitement.
