My dog has diarrhea. Could it be peanut butter or something he ate?

Question

I gave my dog some peanut butter a few days ago and he's had some diahorrea this morning and I was wondering if the peanut butter could be the cause? He seems to have a really sensitive stomach but he always picks EVERYTHING up when he's on his walks so it could be something he's eaten that he shouldn't have. Should I not give him any peanut butter anymore? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 23 days old

It is unlikely that the peanut butter is the culprit. Usually stomach upset will occur within 24 hrs of ingesting something. There is likely another cause here. You can try feeding Ziggy a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese for a few days to see if this can settle his stomach. You can also try over the counter Purina EN Gastrointestinal from your local pet store (if available). If he still can't get back to normal then a vet visit is best to get him checked out for possible other causes of his loose stool (ie parasites, underlying disorders) and proper treatment (i.e. Antibiotics, probiotics, etc). I hope that Ziggy feels better soon. Best wishes and take care.
