remember also, he is a pup, he needs a more rigorous schedule than you do... my one solution for weird poops was to regulate the HELL out of what lily is eating. i sometimes let her poop, and poop and not eat for a day/night, then get it all out of her, all the while giving her water... but no food. then get back on schedule and she is now a year, and hardly EVER messes up. how old is the pup?
