Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Toby evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend with holding food for 12-24 hours. Allow full acess to water. Sometimes when they have such severe diarrhea resting the gut helps. So not adding fuel to the fire so to speak. Then call your vet in the morning and see if it ok to try a bland dietfor a few days until stool is normal then get her back on the U/R. You could also start a probiotic. I like Purina Fortiflora Good luck!

Do boiled chicken and rice for a few days to help and you can get a probiotic to help at any pet supply store such as PetCo. If you notice blood then you need to see a vet. You may need a sensitive stomach formula in the future to help but if there is no improvement then take her in for testing

It sounds like Ty has an upset stomach. I recommend calling your veterinarian tomorrow morning and seeing if they can see Ty. In the mean time I recommend making sure Ty doesn't get anything but a bland diet (you can do boiled chicken and white rice). As long as he is not vomiting, there is no blood and he is not over lethargic then it is ok to wait until tomorrow to have her seen. If any of these symptoms occur then I recommend taking Ty to an emergency veterinarian. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
