my mastif was sorted after a few weeks with trial medications and different diets (some times it gets VERY messy). I ended up feeding him chicken tit and rice for a couple of weeks untill his digestive system sorted itself out and then he was able to hold his bowel movements and ended up doing 2 normal shits per day
when we just got her it was running out her and we had 2 do same and tried diff foods thought we had it sorted wasnt sure if it was just a behaviour thing ,or noy her fault
