My Yorkie has brown vomit and diarrhea. What home remedies help?

Poor Skipper! The color of his vomit looks dark, and it could be due to his dog food that has been broken down in the stomach but not yet fully digested. If he eats his poop, which many dogs do, the color could also be due to that. Given that he has no other symptoms, I'm comfortable giving you a home remedy to try 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 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. Best of luck!

Poppy sounds pretty bad off and if he had vomiting and now diarrhea, the time for home remedies has passed and he has to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

Oreo needs to be examined by the veterinarian today. Any blood in the stool or vomit always require a veterinarian visit because this can indicate something serious like a foreign object in the stomach (although other causes are possible). Additionally, diarrhea that continues beyond 24 hours often has bacterial shifts in the gut that will make matters worse regardless of the initial cause. Make sure to bring in a sample of fresh stool. The doctor will check him for parasites and bacterial over growth. Other diagnostics may also be recommended pending the history and physical exam. Many times a bland diet can help and then a slow, gradual introduction to the normal food can be done. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain. I hope Oreo starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.

It could be that Blaze is suffering from diarrhea. Make sure he is up to date on his deworming treatments, giving him one if he's not. I can also give you a home remedy for him. Withhold food for 6-8 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.

Poor Leia. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that works. 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.

Poor Bailey! It could be that she ate something rotten, she has a GI illness, she may have a foreign body, or she could have pancreatitis. I can give you a home remedy to try 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 vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Hi, sorry to hear Anakin is feeling sick. You can try to fast him for a while- take away food and water for about 8 hours to let him stomach settle. Then try a small amount of water. If he keeps that down, try boiled chicken and rice in small amounts. I don't know that the pepto will do much for his vomiting. If at any time during the 8 hour period he continues to vomit, he needs to see a vet. If he is very lethargic, not responding to you, or having trouble breathing he needs to go to the vet as soon as possible. There is no home treatment. He may need an x ray or some blood work to see what is wrong with him. Good luck I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Ruffel. Poor boy! If he hasn't thrown up again recently, I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. 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 he refuses to eat the bland diet, 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. I hope this helps!

Congrats on your new dog! Given that Prince is eating the same food, this vomiting could be due to the stress of living in a new home, or he could have a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten when you weren't looking, or could have a foreign body. You can try a home remedy first before having to take him into the vet. 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 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 guy. You can try a few things for the next 24-48 hrs to see if this helps normalize his stools. He likely has a dysbiosis condition, imbalance of his normal gut flora, which is caused by eating the raw meat. Him not vomiting or showing lethargy is a really good sign that he can recover well from this. 1) A bland diet of boild plain chicken and rice or fully cooked lean hamburger meat and rice or cottage cheese fed to him for the next 3-4 days, then slowly transition him back to his normal diet. 2) Probiotic- get Culturelle over the counter ar your local pharmacy and put it in his food daily for the next 7 days. I would not recommend any other probiotic than this one because it is most compatible to pet formulated probitiocs sold through your vet 3) 1-2 tsp's (teaspoons) of canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) in his food daily for the next 7 days If he is not showing any improvement to his stools within 24-48 hrs, then its best to get him seen by your vet for a short cours
