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!

I think you should recheck with your vet if Luna is still not wanting to eat and still having diarrhea with blood present. While it's possible that she just needs a little more time on the medications your vet might also want to run some additional tests to make sure nothing else is going on - blood work or a fecal analysis might be recommended.
