Pet's info: Dog | English Bulldog | Male | unneutered | 9 years old | 63 lbs
English bulldog going in and outside to the bathroom. Has diarrhea stains, and is laying outside only getting up to try to go to bathroom again. His breathing sounds like he’s stressed - is it a stomach ache? Should I wait until he wants to come in?

Poor Oscar! It sounds like he is sick, and I would bring him inside. 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!
