It depends on the situation and what Snow was diagnosed with. If your vet has already prescribed her meds, I would call and see when you should expect resolution of the diarrhea. If you haven't seen a vet yet, I would recommend doing that. A small dog like her can become really dehydrated really quick from diarrhea. Your vet will be able to determine the cause and get her started on the proper meds to help her feel better. I hope this helps!
