My little gurl

Question
My little gurl is im -guessing- 2-4 weeks pregnant. I was wondering if it is normal for her to be pooping a lot. I cant hold her for 10 minutes without about a dozen or two turds in my lap. She used to rarely go in my lap before. Is this normal, is it because she is pregnant? Thank you!

Answer
Hello Alisa,

It very likely is. Also, if you are feeding her properly for pregnancy, she's getting a bit more to eat which will, of course, lead to more poos. As long as the poos are firm and healthy, she's likely fine. She'll probably start peeing on you too before much longer. Oh the joys of pregnancy... Good luck with her pregnancy and delivery. I hope everything goes well and you have a healthy mom and pups in a few more weeks.
