My dog has night diarrhea for 2 days, chicken & rice didn't work. What now?

Question

My dog has been having diarrhea for the past 2 days at night only. I fed him chicken and rice yesterday to see if it would make a difference but diarrhea continued. Otherwise he continues to be energetic. What can I try? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 6 days old | 16.2 lbs

Hello, sorry to hear about Rusty. Dietary indiscretions that lead to a decreased appetite, vomiting and even diarrhea may take up to 3-5 days to resolve. You should continue to feed a bland diet consisting or plain white rice, skinless and boneless boiled chicken, and low fat cottage cheese for 5 days to see how his GI tract responds. If the diarrhea continues, then Rusty may need anti-diarrhea medications, probiotics, and to rule out infectious parasites. Have your veterinarian examine Rusty if the he develops bloody diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, or even a severely decreased appetite. Hope this helps and best of luck.
