My puppy has diarrhea with slime. Should I take her to the vet?

Question

Hi, Thatcher has been having diarrhea for the past 2-3 days. We stopped feeding her treats (her greenies and jerked) to see if that would help, but it hasn't. Her diarrhea has gotten worse, and it is now coupled with clear looking slime as well as regular diarrhea. She is a puppy still, and I know that these things happen, but since it's been over the span of several days I just wanted to see if maybe there was something that needed treatment.

If she is tired or unwell then yes she should be seen by your vet. Otherwise, a bland diet such as boiled skinless chicken and rice or an intestinal canned diet with additional probiotics such as fortiflora or canikur can help the gut to rebalance and repair. Ensure she is up to date with deworming treatments also as intestinal parasites can contribute to diarrhea and colitis
