My dog is allergic to chicken. She got a hold of a chicken wing and ate most of one bone. She has had nonstop liquid poop for three days since. Will this pass naturally or is something else wrong, like a bone shard? She is not lethargic at all - other than the poop she's acting completely normal and happy. The runny stool is normal when she eats chicken but it's just lasting a long time.

It should run its course and stop eventually. If she is behaving normally otherwise, you can try a 24 hour fast. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet, in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon of food and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland until the stool is normal, then transition slowly to her regular diet. Since she has an allergy to chicken, you can use cooked/drained ground beef and equal parts plain white rice (cooked). You will need to see your veterinarian if the diarrhea persists or if Darby develops lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

The potential stress of staying with your parents coupled with the dietary indiscretions and new food/treats may be the cause. As long as Rhea is behaving normally, you can try withholding all food and treats for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with a couple tablespoons of food every hour and gradually increase the amount over the next couple of days. Feed a bland diet until the stool is normal then transition slowly to her regular diet. If the diarrhea does not resolve or if she develops lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain then have her examined by your veterinarian. A bland diet can be plain white rice mixed with one of the following: cottage cheese, cooked/drained ground turkey, cooked/drained ground beef or boiled boneless/skinless chicken breasts.

As long as Kylie is behaving normally otherwise, you can try managing the diarrhea at home. Withhold food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte in small amounts. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount of food. Once the stool is normal, transition slowly to the regular diet. If the diarrhea doesn't resolve or if Kylie develops vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain then have her examined by your veterinarian. A bland diet can be plain white rice mixed with one of the following: cottage cheese, boiled boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cooked/drained ground beef or cooked/drained ground turkey. Mix the ingredients in a 1:1 ratio.

Poor Missy! The diarrhea (and the color change) could be due to many conditions including eating something she shouldn’t have, bacterial over growth, parasites or even organ disease. If the diarrhea has continued beyond 24 hours, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian. With continued diarrhea, there are often 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 her for parasites and bacterial over growth. 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. A good diet in general is Royal Canin. It is low residue and highly digestible. I hope Missy starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
