My dog has loose stool. Is it related to his papilloma wart?

Question

My dog was diagnosed with canine papilloma virus with a wart I found on his foot. Shortly after that appointment his stool became very loose. Is this in relation to his wart? Or something else? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 11 months old | 25 lbs

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

The soft stool is likely unrelated to the wart. There are many causes for diarrhea. You can submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. If Zuko is not showing any other symptoms (vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain), you can try managing the soft stool with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to his regular diet afterwards. Recheck with your veterinarian if Zuko's diarrhea persists or if he develops any of the above mentioned symptoms. A veterinary probiotic, such as ProStora, ProViable or FortiFlora, may promote a healthy gut.
