Diarrhea could be caused by parasites, change in diet, toxin ingestion, infectious viral diseases, blockage in the intestines caused by ingestion of a foreign body, or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. Please make an appointment to have Raider seen by a veterinarian again as soon as possible, as diarrhea like that can lead to dehydration, and can be very dangerous if left untreated. I recommend taking in a fecal sample from Raider to your vet as well, as that may aid them in making a diagnosis. Your vet may recommend bloodwork and/or an ultrasound to help determine why the diarrhea isn't stopping. Good luck, and I hope he feels better soon!

It sounds as Stella is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

Hi there! Sorry to hear that your pup is not feeling well. The clinical signs you describe are concerning when they occur in a puppy as they can be seen with serious gastrointestinal infections such as Parvovirus. Other possibilities include intestinal worms and dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. The sooner these conditions are treated the better the outcome tends to be. For this reason, I recommend that you have your pup reevaluated by your veterinarian to check for these possibilities and to start therapy based on findings. At the very least they can address dehydration if present and start her on anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea medications. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for your pup!

After 3 days of liquid diarrhea and now vomiting as well, it’s time to take Cupid to the vet. She may just have an upset stomach from eating bark or other debris in your backyard, some parasites, a gastrointestinal virus, or other medical issue. Diarrhea can result in dehydration, even though she is still eating and drinking normally. I hope she feels better soon!
