It took about 36 hours to completely clear his system<br />
<br />
If there is one thing I have learned from this website is to make sure where the rawhides are made. I now go to the farmers co-op to make sure I get the American made ones. This has seemed to stop the loose stool problem. My brother bought the Dingo rawhides with filling and those seem to be the ones that make Wynstan's stomach upset.

How long did the loose stools take to clear up? My guy is having a small poo problem and I'm wondering if it's attributed to rawhides, which I stopped about a day ago.... Let me know!<br />
<br />
Thanks!

It wasn't the water or the exercise, apparently my younger brother left a rawhide that had filling in it under the bed, and so when I was doing work, he would sneak some chews. Once I threw it away, his stools started to get firmer.

Is there still a big risk with jumping down as adults? I know all about why they shouldn't as pups and have heard the stories of injuries but I don't hear as much about adults. They are still dwarfs so are they not still more susceptible to injury?

I know I'm coming in a few days late on this, but it's because it's so hard on the connective tissue and growth plates in the front legs (wrists, mostly). I always encourage mine to go UP stairs as soon as they feel ready, but I discourage going down stairs before the growth plates are closed.<br />
<br />
One of the things that we just have to deal with if we own dwarfed dogs is that the growth plates are not healthy (by definition - that's why the legs don't grow long). They're brittle and thin. Landing…

One of the things that we just have to deal with if we own dwarfed dogs is that the growth plates are not healthy (by definition - that's why the legs don't grow long). They're brittle and thin. Landing hard on one can fracture it very easily, and then you end up with an angular limb deformity and lifelong pain.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the ligaments in the carpal/metacarpal area are less elastic and less forgiving of injury (again, because of the dwarfism) so I want to keep them as unstressed as possible until the dog is done growing.
