My dog ate chocolate ice cream, now has soft poop. Should I worry?

Question

My dog ate a small amount of chocolate ice cream and he seems to be fine but his poop is wetter and softer than usual is their reason for concern

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

The ice cream could be the cause of the diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy for him 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.
