My Buddy just blew gas and it came acompanied buy diarreah. Im very concerned, my daughter just told me that grandpa was giving him bits of corn muffin, and its all the scrap food he has had today, and that happened because i wasnt home from work and grandma was dog-sitting. With grandma he has all his doggy food and his doggy snacks which i prepare daily, but grandpa got home and decided to spoil him. I will attach a pic of his poop, im sorry but i dont know what to do... PLEASE HELP

This is not uncommon following new and rich foods and generally will settle down within 3-5days. A probiotic/fiber supplement such as fortiflora alongside a bland diet may help rebalance the gut and monitor closely for any persistent vomiting which may indicate the need for a vet visit and additional treatment

Probiotics certainly could help and don't have any known side effects. You can also feed a bland diet (boiled chicken and rice only for 2 to 3 days) since he's having some mild diarrhea. If the problem persists, I recommend a vet visit before the weekend, so you don't end up in the ER with him over the weekend.
