My dog has liquid diarrhea. Is it from eating too much food?

Question

We fed our dog an extra cup of food yesterday and he had liquid diarrhea this morning. Would an extra cup of food cause that? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 8 months and 11 days old | 50 lbs

Hello. An extra cup is not the cause of Charlie's diarrhea. Could he have gotten into something else or eaten something outdoors? Hold him off food for 12 hours & then start him back on a bland diet of 75% white rice ( not Minute Rice ) & 25% cooked chicken. You can also try an antidiarrheal such as Proviable KP ( available at larger pet retailers ). If the diarrhea does not subside in24-36 hrs. or Charlie starts vomiting, act lethargic or refuses all food & water, please have him evaluated by your veterinarian quickly.
