My dog has diarrhea but is happy and playful. What should I do?

Question

Hi, Prisha has done diaharrea 5 times within the last 10 hours, around 10-12 oz each time, we didn't see the first one because it was hidden behind the sofa... so she ate her breakfast as usual. She is happy and playful. she is drinking lots of water. the texture is like thick curry and just few watery drops. no new food, nothing has changed. same routine.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Trisha. It could be she has a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have intestinal worms. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps her. 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 her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
