My puppy has diarrhea, gas, and a bloated belly. What should I do?

Question

Hello, I've just got an 8 weeks staffy puppy and he started to have a runny stool and he came in with quite a lot of gas in his belly. Also, his belly goes quite big after he eats or drinks and when he goes to toilet, he has to poop twice. Sometimes after meal he has a hiccups. Any advice how to bring his stool together ans help him to reduce gas in his belly would be much appreciated. He is very playful, energetic and sweet dog. Want him to feel as good as he can in new home. Thank you! Si. Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 16 days old

Hi Si! Congrats on your new puppy Sharas. Intestinal worms are very common in young puppies, and that could be the cause of his diarrhea and having to poop as often. Lots of worms can cause gas and a big belly as well. I'm not sure if he has been dewormed, but if he has not, he will need to be as soon as possible. I recommend Panacur, which you can get at a pet store or your vet's clinic. It's a three dose course of treatment, and you will need to give another course of treatment two weeks after the first finishes to kill all the worms. He should then be dewormed monthly until he is six months of age, and after that should get a deworming treatment every three months. His food could be a source of his problems as well if you have changed his diet from what he was having previously. He should only be eating a high quality puppy formulated food, but you can try a home remedy to see if that helps his issues. Withhold food for 8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
