My dog has orange/brown diarrhea, what could be the problem. She’s still very energetic and playful. She still eats and drinks all the time. She doesn’t seam to have anything wrong or in pain other than her having bad diarrhea.

It could be Alice has intestinal worms, ate something rotten, a GI illness, or experienced a sudden change in diet. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Withhold food for 6 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!

Since he seems lethargic, he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. Your vet can run some tests to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to treat the diarrhea and vomiting. You could also try a bland diet like boiled chicken and white rice and see if that helps. Take a stool sample so your vet can test for parasites.
