My dog has diarrhea. How long until it clears up or needs a vet?

Question

How long does it generally take for diarrhea in dogs to clear up?? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | neutered | 2 years and 2 months old

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

It really depends on the cause and the treatment that is used. If your dog has diarrhea that has lasted more than a few days than he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat the problem. He could have an infection, parasite, colitis, etc. Your vet can run labwork to help diagnose and prescribe medicine to treat.
