My Bernese mountain dog puppy has been having diarrhea since Thursday. She has been having diarrhea off and on since Thursday. Last night she woke up every hour with diarrhea. She eats fine & plays with our other dog, but I’m nervous about this diarrhea. Pet's info: Dog | Bernese Mountain Dog | Female | unspayed | 23 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lulu. I would recommend that she sees her veterinarian. You have given it long enough for the diarrhea to potentially resolve on its own. She will likely need fecal testing and a medication at this point. Being a puppy it is easy for her to become dehydrated from losing excess fluid in her stool. Offer her plenty of water. She may be experiencing intestinal parasites, a bacterial infection or overgrowth related to stress or a diet change. Other times a definite cause is not determined and supportive treatment is recommended. I hope this information helps!

I’m sorry Baby isn’t feeling well. I would recommend having a fecal examination done by a veterinarian to look for any signs of paralysis. She may also be eating a food that she doesn’t do well with. I would recommend discussing diet choices with your veterinarian as well. Young dogs also have a habit of chewing things up and eating things that can cause intestinal upset, so that is possible as well. In the meantime I would skip a meal to rest her stomach. Then start with a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. I would feed the bland diet for several days until the stool is back to normal, then transition to the food that you and your veterinarian have decided is a good choice. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

It sounds like the brownie batter gave Chase the diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 6 hours, then 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, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is a good sign that Graham is otherwise feeling well. However, diarrhea in a puppy is concerning as it can be indicative if gastrointestinal infections such as parvovirus. Other possibilities include intestinal parasites or even dietary indiscretion. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment of this based on findings. The sooner these conditions are treated the better generally. At the very least they can start him on an anti-diarrhea medication. Good luck!
