My dog has diarrhea for over 24 hours, still eating. What now?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 9 months and 29 days old | 30 lbs

My dog has oral papilloma, and recently went to the vet and had them removed. She was not perscribed any medication, the vet said it would have to run its course. I’m not sure if this has anything to do with her recent condition. But she now has diarrhea, and it’s been over 24hrs. I don’t see any blood in it, and she still has an apitite. I’ve been giving her chicken and rice only (she’s always been a picky eater with her dog food so I decided to not even try and force it. Help!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. This is not likely to be related. I recommend that you have Luna evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
