Young dog pooping in her sleep?
I have a 1 year old Australian Shepherd that left a little poop nugget in her sleep, she didnt wake up when this happened and I am quite confused to why it happened. Is a vet visit needed, should i be concerned?

This is not normal behavior... because she is still young.
Meals can stimulate colonic activity and defecation. If you feed a large meal at breakfast and a much smaller one at dinner, she may start making it through the night. Maybe you need to consider switching to a low-fiber food this will cause she to defecate less in general.
