My dog has diarrhea and a watery eye with discharge. What could it be?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 7.94 lbs

Coco had an episode of loose motions 2 days back, again today she had similar episode. Her left eye is watery, she keeps blinking and appears smaller than the other eye. There's a white discharge coming out of her eye. Please help. I will be taking her to vet first thing tomorrow. I'm really worried.

Poor Coco! When you say Loose motions do you mean loose bowel movements? If so, you could try some plain boiled boneless, skinless chicken and white rice to help settle her tummy. They eye is of concern as well. The symptoms she is show could be that she has an ulcer or a scratch on the eye or even a conjunctivitis. I would strongly recommend seeing your vet. Your vet will be able to determine the cause of both problems and get her started on the proper med to make her feel better. I hope this helps !
