My dog has brown-green diarrhea for days but acts fine. Vet needed?

Question

We have a 12 yr old Boston Terrier that has had diarrhea for three nights. This morning it was a brown-green color. She seems to be acting fine. Should we be concerned enough to have her checked out by our vet? Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Female | spayed | 24 lbs

Considering the fact that there are no other signs with the diarrhoea and she is acting normally, 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. 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.
