My dog has had severe diarrhea for two days. What should I do now?

Question

I have a little mini pinscher and for two days now she has had bad diarrhea, there is no texture at all and she is needing to go about once an hour at max. I tried last night not giving her dog food and feeding her a little bit of white rice and over night she had several accidents but it seemed like they may have had a tiny bit more texture then yesterday.

Poor Penny. You're doing the right thing by first trying to fast her. Try adding in 1-2 tsp of canned pumpkin (not the filling) in her food once a day. If she is still having really loose stools by tomorrow, then she needs to see your vet. She may have a parasite problem or another internal illness (i.e. Pancreas, Liver disease, Gallbladder disease) that subsequently causes abnormal stools. The vet will know what to check and test for to determine the cause. I hope Penny gets better soon.
