Why does my Boston Terrier leak poop while walking or sleeping?

It sounds like Trevor has fecal incontinence. This can have several causes, including nerve damage to the rectum and arthritis, which causes pain when posturing to defecate so they hold it longer than they should. Prostate enlargement can also cause some issues. I would recommend taking Trevor to the vet for a thorough evaluation. They will do a physical and neurologic exam to determine if there are any issues. They may recommend x-rays to look at the pelvis and bones around the based of the tail, and to determine who things look on the inside around the colon.

Yes I would be concerned. It's not normal to have fecal incontinence especially in a young dog. This is a sign or a neurological problem. Frenchies are prone to intervertebral disc disease and this may be an early sign of a problem. I would also have your veterinarian check Peppa's anal sacs as they may be full and leaking the stains. They will do X-rays of the spine and do a neurological assessment to determine the reason for the incontinence. If needed they may recommend taking Peppa to a veterinary neurologic specialist for an evaluation. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Peppa.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. Elderly pets can experience fecal incontinence where the feces will fall put without the dog realizing it. Other times, the pet has severe arthritis and it is painful to assume the position for defecation. This leads the pet to either avoid defecating outside or not going the full amount. It is worth having her see her veterinarian to see if there are options to help the situation. I hope this information helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chutki. Fecal incontinence is not a typical side effect of antibiotics. I most commonly see this happen in older dogs who struggle with mobility. In this case, it is painful for them to posture to defecate normally. So the feces will simply fall out. Other dogs will have weakness in their anal sphincter as they age and no longer to be able to control their bowel movements. There is not an age included with Chutki's profile so I do not know if this is a possibility for her. I recommend discussing the problem with her veterinarian. I hope this information helps!

This morning not uncommon and is often related to muscle weakness and poor nerve control in this area. You should get your vet to check for any physical reason such as polyps. Acupuncture, chiropractic care and a high fiber diet can all help improve bowel control also

It sounds like Simba could have fecal incontinence which can be a sign of a neurologic dysfunction. I would recommend having your vet examine Simba to help determine whether the nerves going to his rectum and anus seem normal.

This can be due to a neurological problem or aging changes. He also may be painful and not wanting to stand and hold the pooping position when outside. I recommend a veterinary exam to see if he’s painful or if there is a neurological problem. They may try him on pain medication. Acupuncture can also improve fecal incontinence sometimes.
