Poor Mia! I'm sorry your recently adopted dog isn't doing well! Moving into a new home is stressful, and her diarrhea could be caused by the stress. It could also be caused by GI illness, intestinal worms, eating something rotten, or a foreign body. Make sure she is up to date on her deworming treatments, getting one from the vet if she isn't. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps with the diarrhea. Feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
