It looks like we are burgeoning into a somewhat interesting period for Jackson. He is losing teeth left and right. He lost his FOUR top front teeth yesterday, and two bottom teeth last week. And the adult teeth are already growing in! I feel so bad for my little guy! Ouchie!

And on top of all of this, he's been having softer stool for a few weeks now... but recently it's started getting REALLY soft. I feel like part of this is my fault. Almost two weeks ago we flew to Atlanta, which was GREAT and he did pretty well. I gave him "Happy Traveler's" each way which is a herbal doggie mood enhancer to calm him. I noticed his poo softening more after this, which I thought was a total normal response to the pill.

Then we got back to San Francisco and took a drive down to Los Angeles. He was great in the car! But the hotel we stayed at had some rawhide chews that I gave to him and have since been doing a number on his tummy and poo.

We got back to SF (again) on Saturday and since about Sunday or so, his poo has been super super soft. And twice it has come with mucus. Poo has not been uncontrollable or watery.

Jackson is up to date on all of his vaccines and his stool at 15 weeks checked out parasite-free from the vet.

What are the chances of this being a combination of stress, nasty rawhides, traveling, etc? I just feel bad everything is happening at once for him...

I'm going to pick up some canned pumpkin to see if that helps. Jackson eats Solid Gold Hundchen Flocken and I just bought a new 30-lb bag for him, so I'm hesitant to change his food just yet...

His behavior is still pretty normal. He is playful, though I think catching up on some rest from the busy (and fun for him!) week we had last week. He is still comely, seems hydrated, etc.

Any thoughts?

Oh, and here's a funny picture of my toothless buddy...
