My Maltese has loud tummy noises and watery stool. What should I do?

Poor Charlie! Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the loose stool continues on 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. Best of luck.

Baobao might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 12 hours then offer her boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If she continues vomiting or is not eating, take her to the vet to get treatment.

I'm sorry to hear that Lola isn't feeling well. Obviously, taking her to the vet for an exam would be the ideal scenario, but given your current circumstances, I understand that that might not be possible. Diarrhea can be caused by a multitude of different issues, including parasites, an upset stomach from a virus, eating something unusual, or other internal diseases. Since Lola is still drinking some water, I would encourage her to drink a bit more by putting a small amount of low sodium chicken broth in her water. Just be sure to change the bowl every few hours so that it doesn't spoil. You can also give her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken and white rice to try to help settle her stomach. At only 5 pounds, she should eat a total of 1/2 cup of this mixture per day, so divide that into 3-4 smaller meals. However, if she refuses to eat or drink, begins to vomit, or becomes more lethargic, you'll have to seek emergency veterinary care. I hope that the bland diet helps her and that she's feeling better soon!

Poor Kapo! There are so many causes for diarrhea including parasites, toxins, foreign bodies, sudden change of foods, pancreatitis, table foods, bacterial or viral infections and much more. Since Kapo is such a small dog, I would have your vet take a look at him so he doesn't become any more dehydrated. Your vet will be able to do a fecal, bloodwork and even x-rays if needed. They will get him started on the proper medicine to help the diarrhea and give him fluids if needed. I hope this helps!

Hi, As long as Bella is active, drinking, eating and not vomiting you can start with change of diet. Feed her boiled chicken breast and rice ( no additives as salt and pepper) you can offer her also the cooked chicken water to encourage drinking and monitor her for the next 1-2 days. If diarrhea still persist take her to the vet. If while monitoring any of the signs such as lethargy, vomiting, reduced appetite, not drinking enough, blood in diarrhea start take her to the vet sooner. Good Luck

Loose stool and lack of appetite could be caused by parasites, change in diet, toxin ingestion, infectious viral diseases, blockage in the intestines caused by ingestion of a foreign body, or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. Please make an appointment to have Tootsie seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible for diagnostics and treatment. In the meantime, if she is not eating well, you can try boiling boneless skinless chicken in water, shredding the chicken, and feeding her small amounts of the resulting chicken broth and cooked chicken once it has cooled. You can also add in plain boiled white rice. I recommend taking in a fecal sample from Tootsie to your vet as well, as that may aid them in making a diagnosis. Good luck, and I hope she feels better soon!

Poor Bella! If she can't poop it out, and is in pain and trembling, you need to take her into a vet immediately. She sounds sick, and I don't want her left in pain. Please take her into a vet now. I hope you stay safe and healthy too!
