Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 4 months old | 14.3 lbs

Last night my 3 year old toy poodle started scratching to the point of irritated skin. I thought he may have been bitten by a house spider. Tonight he has diarrhea that is greenish in color and he vomited gastric juices. I applied Neosporin on the rash last night and that's clear. But with this situation tonight I'm at a lose. Any ideas??

Doodle's diarrhea could be caused by intestinal worms, GI illness, eating something rotten, or a foreign body to name a few. Make sure he is up to date on his deworming treatments, giving him one if he is not. I can also give you a home remedy 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.
