Too much excitement?

Cbrugs · Aug 19, 2013

I have a 4 month old male Frenchie who went to doggie daycare for the first time on Friday, August 9. He had diarrhea that weekend with it clearing up by Monday/Tuesday. He went to daycare again this past Friday and got diarrhea again all weekend. His behavior is normal other than the diarrhea. The vet is going to do a fecal test just to make sure he doesn't have any parasites but I saw on the internet that some dogs can get diarrhea from being overly excited/over stimulated/playing too much. Considering this has happened after both times of him going to daycare, I am suspecting that to be the problem. Has anyone else had this happen with their Frenchie?

I have not had this happen with mine, but I have heard of it happening, or it could be the water there, or anything he picks up from there.

Hopefully his system will adjust to the excitement of daycare, because I'm sure it is lots of fun and a great way to socialize Jax!

Sounds like its a possibility. Good thing to have a fecal done to be sure though? :2thumbs:

The fecal test came back normal so it was not a parasite. The diarrhea cleared up by Monday/Tuesday so I really think it is from being over stimulated. I will talk to the daycare next time I take him to see if they have any suggestions.

He probably drinks a ton of water while there too, more than normal. It could stir things up as he likely gulps it from being hot, excited and overstimulated.
