My 5-month-old puppy has diarrhea at night. Home remedies failed.

Question

My lab Shepard cross is 5 months old and has been experiencing diarrhea for a few days now it seems to really occur at night and is frequent. We have tried home methods but nothing seems to work, it’s a normal colour and doesn’t appear to have anything in it, any ideas on what it could be from or how we can get it to be more formed? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 16 days old | 40 lbs

Hello. Most diarrheas are self-limiting & as long as Wallace is bright & alert, eating & drinking well, I would not be too concerned. You might try switching him to a bland diet for a few days, 25% cooked chicken or hamburger with all fat removed, mixed with 75% plain white rice or low fat cottage cheese. You might also want to take a stool sample to your veterinarian just to make sure he has not picked up a parasite. If the diarrhea continues past a few days on the bland diet, or it turns bloody & Wallace acts at all unwell, please see your veterinarian.
