My dog has runny stools, isn't eating, and is tired after moving. Is it stress?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 8 months and 22 days old | 4 lbs

She has runny stools, restlessness at times, sleeping a lot, not eating, we just moved into a new home, so could this have stressed her to cause this?

She might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this, it's not likely to be stress. offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues with the runny stools or if she is not eating, take her to the vet to get treatment.
