Bowel movements normal? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

How many bowel movements a day are normal for a 14 lb yorkie. Mine seems to only go twice a day and I am not sure if that is enough.

Probably 1-3. My 5 pounder goes once.

That's enough.

My 15-week old puppy goes twice (at least, the ones that I see when I'm home and not at work! Hehe.).

Ya know... I never thought I would care about how often and how big the turd was and what it looked like...

But... since we have gotten Sadie all I do is worry... is she eating to much, not enough, why isn't she pooping more, why is it so small... oh wait, here come a big turd ... YEAH she went two times in a row...HUH it is so upsetting!!!!! I paid for a vet visit to find out how much to feed, how often to feed, is she constipated, and will she make it?

So I understand you concern

Well I think it depends on the food you feed them and the treats they get. I know the smaller ones get treats and mine always go soon afterwards. They don't hold to much.
