My dog's whitish-yellow stool isn't soft, but he's acting fine. Help?

Question

Hi! My chiweenie is a little over a year old, and for the past few days, has had whitish-yellow stool. It’s not soft or runny, and it doesn’t have any kind of out-of-the-norm odor. He acts normally, is still eating and drinking, and doesn’t seem to be in any pain or distress. What should I do?

Poor Arwyn! I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps him. 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.
