Yes, they will use it for poop - but if they have diarrhea they might not be able to make it to the box! Of course, the best thing is to figure out what's causing the diarrhea, which I'm sure you are working on. Half an Immodium usually works for ours if it's a temporary stomach upset from eating something they shouldn't… Terry

Dallas has gotten into chocolate a time or two. He got a hold of a butterfinger just recently & had eaten half of it before I found him! He's never had any problems post-chocolate, thankfully.

@KiroGurl: Ninabeana….. what contest are you speaking of? I hate to compete but id love to do one to for kiro and we live in maryland too!!!! It's through a local radio station. What part of MD do you live in?

If funds are an issues, you can do what I used to do before BRAT came along. Find out the vet of the family your placing him with, have the family pay you for your expenses and then take the dog to the new familys vet for the surgery to be fixed. Drop the dog off the day of the surgery and then new owners pu the dog. They get to pay the bill. That makes sure the dog is fixed, sets up a new vet record for the new dog in the family, and you don't have to pay anything out of pocket. Mostly, you know the surgery WILL BE DONE. Thanks for making sure he is fixed before rehoming. That is so important.
