Hello, I am not new to dogs, just new to this type of dog. I have been searching the net and the local library and have not really found anything useful. My nefew has two St. Benards and one brown lab that is less than a year old. They did not realize that she could get pregnant that soon. They only realized she was pregnant 2 weeks before she was due. (the lab) Low and behold she had 9 living pups!!! Once they hit 6 weeks he came over and literally dropped him in our laps and said here you go. We love animals but were not prepared for this. To me, Milo, was a bit to early to leave his mother but he seems to be eating and drinking just fine. His stools are still very loose. Is this normal? and of course he doesn't want to be alone. Although, he does do well in his cage. He did go to the bathroom in his cage at first but not any more. We have had him for only a week and a half and I just feel lost. Not sure if I am feeding him right, is it too early to start disiplining him now. How long should it take to train the dog to go to the bathroom outside. When should we start training classes? Help!!
Any help would be appreciated.

thanks doedee

Has anyone wormed this pup? He could also have coccidia from being allowed to walk in his own poop. I would suggest you take him to the vet so they can do a fecal exam to see what is going on.
