McNuggets!

Truman had his teeth cleaned last week and had to have one tooth extracted. The vet gave us some pain pills and an antibiotic. Since then, Truman has left several poop nuggets on the floor. He doesn't even know when it happens.Not full-fledged poops, just little nuggets. Do you think the medicine(s) are causing this? 8O

How old is he?

Truman is 10 now. Geez! I hope it's not an age related thing!
hmmm, 10 is about time things like this can happen...........but I'm going with the drugs. Have you noticed any rear end problems; stiffness, lameness, sore? Arthritis including narrowing of the nerve passages can lead to this. Once the meds are out of his system and he's filled with his regular food, fed on time, he should return to normal. :crossed:
Thank you everyone! I suspect the medicine too. However, considering his age, this may happen occasionally. I hope I don't get that problem as time goes by!
I wasn't thinking meds, but maybe a combination of things like gut being off and given his age and his breed he probably has some spinal arthritis and having him under he's on his back in an awkward position etc etc. Maybe something got pinched and most likely a temporary thing, but possibly foreshadowing what's to come down the road. Not the end of the world if so.

My 14 year old had the occasional surprise nugget the last year or so. You get used to it Any other dog probably would have gotten a little embarrassed but she was like: Hey, I'm old, deal with it! :roll: :lol: 8)
