    Has Marley eaten anything different the last few days?
    What's the consistancy of his number 2?

    Well if it's a little runnier than usual or not his usual consistancy it might indicate something up with his tummy. If he's wee'ing outside, then there's no reason he wouldn't poop outside too.
    what does he get to eat? Just his dog food?
    I might give the vet a quick call just to be sure, as you said it's unusual for him to poop inside the house and that the consistancy has changed.

    Hi star, little confused he goes during the day for poo, he diet has not changed, he sleeps in the utility room, we try and have him very active in the day as he is still really only a puppy, im getting up at the usual time in the morning, do you think it could be behaviour problems, what he eats is dry redmills and sometimes he may get a few scraps but not to much?

    He poos during the day outside?
    But only at night does it indoors?

    *could* be behavioural but it's just odd because he's not wee'ing inside either, and his poo is more mucus/runny as you said. Be no harm to phone up your vet & have a quick chat, see what they think.

    Hi star, thanks for your great advice, just rang the vet and as we cant get to the vets with the weather he gve me advice on the telephone, he thinks it could be a lower bowel infection, he told me not to give him any processed foods, only boiled chicken or rice and to soak his dried food in water as he may not be getting enough water, he said if he continues and does not get any better to take him into him over the weekend.
    thanks again for your advice r u a vet?

    Ah no, not a vet donna - just a pet owner/lover :)

    We can give out advice here but sometimes it's best to check with your vet just incase. I would have thought the vet might have said about boiled chicken and rice, it's good for times if they've an upset stomach too. Hopefully that's help sort little Marley out - he's lovely looking :)

    oh my god donna he's unreal!!!!!!!! I think puggles are such a cute cross breed dog, they've so much character in their faces.

    Perhaps for the next few nights, keep a record of the times he poos, and if he hasnt pooed for a while stay outside with him for ages to make sure he goes again.

    Then perhaps set your alarm for the middle of the night to take him out again, as its probably upsetting him when he does go to the toilet in the house.

    Donna, he is absolutely gorgeous.... Such a lovely colour....

    Would anyone suggest giving him some honey as it has antibiotic qualities...

    I don't know about giving honey to small breeds - it's full of sugar and could upset their blood sugar levels so unless it came vet recommended for certain occasions - I wouldn't.
