My dog has diarrhea and is very tired. Should I be concerned?

Question

My dog is currently having the runs and woke me up early this morning because he had to go... his stool has been liquid all day. He has also seemed more fatigued than usual, falling asleep in the middle of the day. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 55 lbs

I'd be concerned about Noah because this means he's sick. I can 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. I hope this helps!
