Poor Barney. Feed him 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!

I would not think the Chocolate is still in his system. However he could of gotten colitis from the ingestion and followed diarrhea. I would recommend a bland diet for 24 hours with a probiotic. However if it is not improving or you even see blood in the feces I would take him to a veterinarian for an exam.

I would keep Blue on this bland for another couple of days, then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea returns, have him seen by a vet. I can't say if he has worms or not without doing a fecal exam. Worms are common in puppies, so I would give him a deworming treatment.

Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Deworm him if indicated. If he is behaving normally otherwise, continue with the bland diet until symptoms resolve then transition slowly to the regular diet. A veterinary probiotic, such as ProStora, ProViable or FortiFlora, may promote a healthy gut. If the symptoms persist or if Patches develops lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain then see your veterinarian.

Withhold all food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with one tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland food until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet. A veterinary probiotic, such as FortiFlora, ProViable or ProStora may promote gut health. If the diarrhea doesn't resolve or if Zia develops lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain then have her rechecked by your veterinarian. Submit another stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial and consider a parvovirus SNAP test.
