My dog has Diarrhea, should I take her to emergency vet or I can monitor her for 24 -48 hours? Please see picture attached. Should I continue to feed her? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 10 years and 11 months old | 80 lbs

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Koko has good appetite, no vomiting and her energy level is high, you can monitor her at home. You should put her on a bland diet (lean, cooked meat with some rice or pasta) for a few days. If she continues to pass diarrhea over the weekend, or if she becomes lethargic or starts to vomit, you should take her to your local vets or call your emergency service.

Poor Koda. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12 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 vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

Poor Koko! Sounds like she needs to see a vet. I would recommend collecting a stool sample (sample of the diarrhea), and making an appointment for Koko. She could have a virus, or parasites, and it sounds like she needs some help! Best of luck!
