I'm curious to see if any of you have any idea what may be wrong with my dog. Yesterday evening I put the dogs in their pen and fed them. Maggy normally won't even look up from the food bowl if there is food in it. When I closed the gate, I noticed Maggy immediately go out back into the grass. I stood there and watched her acting strangely. She would take about four steps, stop, and look towards the house. Then she would take four or five more steps, stop, and look towards the house again. She did this repeatedly for about five minutes. She wasn't trying to squat, she was just walking around. I went back to the house and went back out to watch her about five minutes after that. She was still walking around and stopping, but she finally squatted for what seemed like a whole minute. When she stood back up, she quickly ran back into the pen like she felt fine. I went out into their yard with a flashlight but couldn't find any piles, fresh or old, especially where I saw her squat (they normally use the bathroom when we let them out). I went out before work this morning and woke the dogs up about 6:30am. I gave them a treat and went back to the house to watch them out a window. Sure enough, Maggy went straight out back and started doing the same thing as last night. She squatted much quicker this morning but for an extended time. I went out to their yard and found a little pile this time. It looked like diarrhea. I also found another pile about the same size that was dry, but didn't look old.
Any ideas for me before I take her to the vet? I was hoping it would clear itself up, but it may not.
