Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd - miniature | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 3 days old | 1.41 lbs

Hi I had my dog checked by a get and said she was good and might be stressed out that’s why she’s having diarrhea, however, after her vet visit her diarrhea was worse and was more like liquid. She also had an episode of vomiting earlier today and has a patch near her neck that had lost fur.

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.

My chihuahua mix had diarrhea last night. She is drinking water today, but doesn't want to eat. She is lying very still and quiet. Occasionally she belches . What should I do?

I have a 1 and a 1/2 year old Belgian malinois and he has thrown up 3 times today and has had mild diarrhea and his stomach is gurgling a lot and he keeps whining and I’m not sure what to do
Poor Jedi. I can give you a home remedy 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 the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he vomits the bland diet, develops more than mild diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

My dog was shivering with no eating on Tuesday but stools were ok. Vet did exam and didn’t seem to have any issue. Nothing prescribed. Blood exams came back normal she has diarrhea since yesterday Friday , today she is vomiting and even though she
I would recommend that Leia go back to the vet for evaluation since her symptoms have been slowly progressing. There aren't any OTC medications I would recommend at this time since we don't know what is causing it to happen. She may not have bowel movements either due to the lack of food in her GI tract or simply from having diarrhea. You can offer bland human foods like boiled white chicken breast or cooked white rice.

I think it's fine to try a home remedy with Rosie. 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.

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. Best of luck.

I have a German shepherd that is a year and a half old. Today I noticed she’s nauseous, gagging, vomiting, and has lost her appetite. I would like to know if there’s something I could buy her to make her feel better.

My dog has been vomiting for about 3 days, diarrhea, and is lethargic. I don't know what's wrong with her and I can't afford to take her to a vet.
This is a tough situation because she is likely suffering from some degree of dehydration on top of any underlying condition. Try withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow or syringe feed small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet ( boiled boneless / skinless chicken and plain white rice) in small, frequent amounts. Serve warm or mix in a teaspoon or two of baby food to stimulate the appetite. If the vomiting stops, continue feeding until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet. If the vomiting or diarrhea don't stop, you will need to see a veterinarian. Contact your local animal shelter and ask about low cost clinics. Consider a financing option such as CareCredit.

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.

It may be stress from the groomer that is causing Thalia's diarrhea. It could also be that the groomer gave her a treat she has never had before causing it. I can give you a home remedy to try 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.
