Poor Dutch. I have a home remedy that may help. Feed him 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 refuses to eat 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.

Rx for diarrhea in a dog
Poor Dog! Withhold food for 12-24 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.

What are some of the ways I can do to relieve dog's diarrhea?
If there is no obvious cause of your dog’s diarrhea (like eating something he should not have) and he is not vomiting and eating normally, I would recommend feeding him a bland diet, like plain boiled chicken and rice, for the next 24 hours. If the diarrhea does not resolve within 2 days or you dog is vomiting or there is any blood in the stool you should take her to the vet as soon as possible.

My dog is having a lot of diarrhea and it looks like he is peeing out of his butt but it is brown like his poop, and I feel like he has an upset tummy, what should I do
Poor Bronco. 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 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.

Given that you changed her food, this could be a likely cause of Dutchess diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. Withhold food for 8-12 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 her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.

About two weeks ago I took my dog for her adequin injection she gets extremely anxious at the vet and we had to wait about 1 hour to be seen due to covid. The next day she got diarrhea and it lasted one day then about 5 days later she got it again an
It could be Poochie has a stomach illness causing her diarrhea, or she may have eaten something outside causing it. Sometimes these things can happen. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps her. Feed her 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 her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

What can I feed my dog who is having loose stool and anal gland problems?
I'd give him Glandex for the anal sac problems, and I can give you a home remedy for the diarrhea. Feed him 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.

My dog was eating canned food but he had one left. in the meantime I gave him dry food. The next day I gave him canned food from a different brand and now he has diarrhea. What should I do? Thank you
A sudden change in diet including switching brands can be enough to cause diarrhea in a dog. I can give you a home remedy to try for Chiquitin, and I would switch back to his normal brand of dog food. Withhold food for 12-24 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. Good luck, I hope this helps!

My dog ate a bag of treats last night. And she woke me up at 1 to go poop. And then when she was in her cage while I was at work she pooped in her cage (soft). And now I took her on a walk and she pooped again. And it looked bad.
It sounds like eating this bag of treats has really upset Storm's stomach. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Feed her 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 her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.

My dog has diarrhea and gas... He has a temperature of 38.1 so no fever. I was wondering what food is best to give him because I heard dry food is no good during diarrhea.
This is a great question! I can give you a home remedy for Butcher to see if that helps his diarrhea and gas. Withhold food for 12-24 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 refuses to eat 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. I hope this helps!

First my dog was constipated now she's trying to go potty and her poop is a little runny when she's straining to poop. Does she have diarrhea?
It does sound like diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy for Essaye to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12-24 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 her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
