First off, I want to say hi to everyone. I just joined the forums after seeing just how active this forum was.
I have a somewhat worrying question to ask. My maltese, a shelter adoptee, is about 12 weeks old now. He's been excreting way too often (I think) at a rate of anywhere between 8-12x a day for the past couple days. He was adopted by us two weeks ago. The poor guy will whimper to let you know, but I'm becoming worried. I had a lab growing up & he used to go 2x-3x a day. Is this normal? Since waking up about one hour ago, we've found his 'poop' in about 4 different places (2 in my bedroom & 2 in kitchen). Now, I doubt he 'went' 4 times, but does anyone have an idea as to if this might be an illness or is it just him 'carrying' it with him?
