Puppy ate snow and now has slimy liquid stool. What should I do?

Question

My 4 month old puppy has a sort of slimy liquid stool. He was fine yesterday but he was eating a little snow. So I was wondering if that might be the problem. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered

Snow, unless it had some dirty stuff in it, wouldn't cause diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy for Charlie to see if that helps. Withhold food for 6-8 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. I hope this helps!
