My dog is a year old and around 89 pounds. He ate some ham a few days ago, though not a lot he has diarrhea. Any suggestions? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | unneutered | 1 year old | 89 lbs

Diarrhea can be caused by a food sensitivity, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, an intestinal blockage, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc. I would fast Neko for 24 hours and then put the dog on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if your dog gets lethargic, it needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.
