My dog has diarrhea after homemade tick remedies. What to do?

Question

Recently I found brown dog ticks on my German Shepard. We were able to eradicate any further ticks by using lemon water, lemongrass essential oil, cedar essential oil, and vinegar diluted with water. Today I woke up to the worst diarrhea I’ve ever seen from him! My vet only takes patients as an appt but I don’t have money to pay for that.

I would recommend giving Kobe boiled chicken and white rice. The diarrhea can be from everything that was placed on Kobe. I would recommend bathing him preferably in dawn to get it off of him and then using a flea and tick prevention. You can either use topical, oral or the seresto collar. The oral medication is prescription so you would have to go to the veterinarian if you have not seen one recently. If the diarrhea does not resolve in a day or two, he starts vomiting or you see blood he needs to see a veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
