My dog was diagnosed with a bacterial infection and the nurse as spayed. Diarrhea continued for 5 days and then she had colitis. We took her back to vet gave her a shot and she's had less accidents but is sill having them. I finished 5 Days of panacur and she's now on metrozinadole. Does she have permanent fecal incontenence? I'm really worried- it's been 7 days since this all started. Pet's info: Dog | Bulldog | Female | spayed | 6 months and 9 days old | 40 lbs

Dog's Diarrhea & Accidents After Infection. Is It Incontinence?

Five days ago my 5 mo olde English bulldog puppy got spayed, before the spay she had diarrhea. Afterwords the diarrhea was extreme and she was raw and constantly leaking. They said she had a bacterial infection and gave her metronidazole and panacur.

That could be due to the anesthesia as well which could have worsened the pre-existent gastrointestinal upset. Are you feeding with a bland diet? Boiled chicken and rice would be best! If the diarrhoea more than 48hours despite treatment and dietary change another check up may be needed. By the way incision site looks great.

My dog has had diarrhoea for about 12 hours and she won’t eat what should I do?

These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. As most of these episodes are dietary related, if she starts eating again you could try to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

My dog has been treated for giardia with an antibiotic, she still has diarrhea. It has been two weeks. She has been retested and she is clear.

Withhold food and water for 12-24 hours. Resume feeding a bland diet (1/3 plain boiled boneless chicken and 2/3 plain white rice). Feed in small, frequent amounts waiting at least one hour between feedings. Continue feeding until the stool is normal. Transition slowly to the regular diet. If diarrhea doesn't stop, see your veterinarian. Consider a food trial to rule out food allergies as well as testing for malabsorption issues. Texas A&M has a GI Lab that can rule out these specific disorders. Submit a stool sample to rule out other intestinal parasites.

Bella sick with diarrhea 3 weeks ago. After treatment stool returned to normal. Two weeks after Bella was sick, Pepper developed diarrhea. Both were given bland and metro. Pepper stool not returning to normal, has few BM's. Most recent was formed but

It definitely seems like an infection was the initial cause of the diarrhea and was well-controlled with the metronidazole. Anytime we treat for infection, we change the environment of the gut flora and it's not unusual for it to take some time for things to get back to normal after the antibiotics have been discontinued. It's also possible for the infection to return if not treated for long enough, or if the most appropriate antibiotic was not used. An increase in mucous tells me that there are issues within the colon where most fermentation by normal gut bacteria takes place. If the stools are still somewhat normal appearing (besides the excess mucous) and Giardia has been ruled-out as a cause, then I would wait a few days to see if things return to normal. You may consider adding probiotics to their diet if also advised by your veterinarian. I hope this helps and Bella and Pepper get better soon.

I have a 4 year old dog that all of a sudden in the last couple of days she has not been able to hold her poop and it is real watery and this afternoon she has started to dribble pee but her poop is back to normal what could be wrong with her? She is

Poor girl. It sounds like she had a bout of colitis (inflammation of the colon) at first causing the loose stool. This then could have caused bacterial translocation to the bladder causing a urinary tract infection. Another possible cause here is urinary incontinence, which is a spontaneous condition that occurs more commonly in middle to older female dogs. It is good that her stool has returned back to normal for the time being. However, if the dribbling continues for more than 24 hrs, then its best to have your vet test her urine for an infection and treat accordingly (i.e. antibiotics). I would consider at least starting her on over the counter probiotics (i.e. Culturelle at your local pharmacy) for now to help her overall. I hope that Zoey's stools remain normal here moving forward. Best of luck and take care! : )

These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver) a bit more severe than your vet initially thought. Another clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) and possibly antibiotics may be needed this time.

My 7 1/2 week old German Shepherd puppy has watery diarrhea and seems distant over the past 12-14 hours. She was treated for round worm and has been passing the worms in her feces until today.

These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the colon possibly secondary to the parasite infection, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

My dog had diarrhea for three days last week, he tested negative for parasites. Was put on antibiotics and bland diet. Has extremely soft stool. What else could this be? How can I get his stool back to normal?

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Other possibilities for these clinical signs include gastroenteritis, colitis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, malabsorption disease, dietary indiscretion, inflammatory bowel disease, among other possibilities. You can start by trying to change his diet to a sensitive stomach type diet. If no improvement is noted, your veterinarian can try medications for diarrhea such as metronidazole or Tylosin. You can also consider probiotics. If no improvement with these conservative therapies, you would have to consider more diagnostics such as abdominal ultrasound and GI panel. Good luck and have a good night!

My dog got home 2 days ago from the humane society after having been treated for heartworms and having a few teeth pulled. Now he’s got bad diarrhea that doesn’t seem to be getting better. What can I do?

If the diarrhoea does not improve with dietary change (boiled chicken and rice) a check up would be required as it can be caused by an inflammation/infection of the gastrointestinal system and antibiotics may be required.
