My dog has diarrhea from a chew treat. When should I see a vet?

Question

My corgi ate a big chew treat two days ago and started having diarrhea afterwards. The fecal scale is sometimes a 5 or 6 and sometimes a 7. How long should we expect him to have diarrhea and if we should bring him to the vet. Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 21 days old | 10 lbs

Poor Mr. Bean! It could be the treat that has caused him diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 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. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
