My French Bulldog has severe diarrhea for days. When to see a vet?

Question

Hi there, I have a French bulldog, he'll be 2 at the end of the month. He was always the runt of the litter and is now weighing in at 12.9kg. He has always had gastro issues with frequent bouts of diarrhoea and sometimes vomiting (yellow bile) since we have had him. We switched him to a gran free diet in September which has made a HUGE difference, as he has been generally fine since then. However, he has had bad diarrhoea for the last 3-4 days, often needing to go out 4-5 times during the night. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | neutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 28.5 lbs

Poor Yoda! This diarrhea could be due to intestinal worms, eating something rotten, GI illness, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. Typically if a dog has been having diarrhea for less than 24 hours, a home remedy can be tried, but given that Yoda has been having diarrhea for three to four days, it's time to see a vet. The vet can diagnose what is causing the diarrhea, and can treat him for it. I would have him seen by a vet first thing in the morning.
