My dog has diarrhea after stressful grooming. What can I do?

Question

I recently took my dog to the groomer, she’s been numerous times to this same place and always did pretty well, but this time, she got really upset and super stressed out. She’s had diarrhea for the last 4 days. She’s not lethargic, she’s drinking and eating and playing and seems her usual self other than the diarrhea. What can I do to help her get her stools back to normal? Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Female | spayed | 6 months and 27 days old | 56.8 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Delta. I would recommend talking with her veterinarian today if they are open. They may need to see her, but other times you can just drop off a fecal sample. Stress can cause a bacterial imbalance in the gut. This can perpetuate the diarrhea. Parasites are also unfortunately common in pups. You do not want to miss something that may have been coincidental with the grooming. I would recommend feeding her smaller more frequent meals in the meantime as this. will be easier on her gut. You can also add a reputable probiotic such as Fortiflora or Proviable. This will repopulate her gut with good bacteria. I hope this information helps!
