Normal symptoms include the obvious runny stools and the dog may also have gas, stomach cramps, exhibit signs of straining and discomfort. Call the vet if:
It is a puppy with or without all vaccinations
Has red blood or the stools are black or tarry
The dog may have eaten something toxic or poisonous
The dog has eaten a foreign object
The dog has a fever
The dog acts ill or is depressed
The dog's gums are pale
The dog is in pain
The diarrhea is accompanied by vomiting
The dog is weak or lethargic
Bloating, panting, avoiding touch
The diarrhea is profuse, watery, and very frequent
Recurrent bouts of diarrhea
Refuses food or water for longer than 24 hours, less for puppies
Shows signs of dehydration
In cases where diarrhea is mild, and the dog is acting normal, common home remedies include:
Easy to digest foods such as boiled skinless chicken breast or ground turkey breast mixed with pumpkin, sweet potato, or skinless mashed potato (50 – 50 mixture).
Plain broth for drinking or doggy chicken soup from the boiled chicken.
Probiotics (supplements are more effective that yogurt) give for a week.
Canned pumpkin (plain, cooked, not spiced) added to food.
Anti-diarrhea medication from your vet or kaolin (Kaopectate-ask your vet for dosing instructions-a rule of thumb is 1 tsp per 5 lbs. of body weight every 6 hours or Imodium AD 2 mg for 40 lbs. of body weight – if your dog is a puppy do not give meds. For young, old, ill, or dogs taking medications, call your vet before administering).
50 -50 dilution of water and Pedialyte.
Do not withhold water.
Slippery elm (herb – half teaspoon for each 10 lbs of body weight in food twice a day for 3 days rather than over the counter medications).
