Question
is it comman for a cho. lab on first heat to get the runs

Answer
Hi Gerald.  Soft stool can be a symptom of the heat cycle, however; runny stools can be a symptom of other issues.  Keep an eye on her and contact your veterinarian in case of the following:  Vomiting, temperature higher than 103, loss of appetite, lack of energy, or diarrhea for longer than 3 days.

In the meantime, be sure that she drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration.

Good luck, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.

Sincerely,
Penny Diloreto
