My husky has diarrhea, mucus, no appetite. Is it parasites?

Hi there and thank you for posting! If you have tried the bland diet and Pepto Bismol with no resolution to the diarrhea, I would see your veterinarian for further diagnostics and treatment. I would also bring stool samples with you so that your vet can check for intestinal parasites. This may be a dietary indiscretion that just needs a bit more treatment to resolve or something infectious such as an intestinal parasites. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions / concerns you may have. I am also available via consultation.

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

Poor Cooper! The diarrhea could be due to many conditions including eating something he shouldn’t have, bacterial over growth, parasites or even organ disease. Just because he is not around other dogs does not mean he is immune to GI parasites. If the diarrhea has continued beyond 24 hours, I recommend to have him 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 him 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 Cooper starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.

No, it's normal to have diarrhea for this length of time in a puppy, and while it could be caused by the change in food, he could have something else causing it such as intestinal worms, a GI illness, or a foreign body. I would take Marshall into the vet first thing in the morning. Given the length of time he has had it, he definitely needs to see a vet right away. The vet can diagnose the cause of his diarrhea and how best to treat it. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I would recommend taking Rocky to a vet for a check up because he is so young. Diarrhea can be caused by parasites, diet, stress, and even viruses. It is important to figure out why Rocky is having diarrhea so it can be corrected. I hope that helps

These symptoms are always concerning in a puppy. If Muffin did not have a complete set of vaccines when he was younger, parvo or distemper is a possibility, even without blood in the stool. Hypoglycemia or liver disease could also cause these symptoms, and could be a concern if your Husky is only 10 pounds at 6 months. I would recommend that he be checked out by a vet ASAP.

The number one reason for puppies to have diarrhea with mucus around it is intestinal parasites (worms). It is best to take her to the vet for an exam so they can run a fecal test and then treat her accordingly.
