My dog has random diarrhea but no other symptoms. Should I worry?

I am sorry to hear about Sam! If he is otherwise acting normally (normal energy, normal appetite, no vomiting) I would just monitor him and watch his next few bowel movements. Sometimes exercise can increase gastrointestinal activity, and stress can also sometimes cause some diarrhea (being out of town can be stressful). If he continues to have loose stool then seeing his vet is recommended.

Poor Tilly! Diarrhea is definitely a cause for concern - Tilly may have eaten something she shouldn't have, or developed pancreatitis, inflammation of the bowel, or have an obstruction. If there has only been one episode of diarrhea, you can keep an eye on Tilly. However, if the diarrhea continues, Tilly loses her appetite and energy, or there is blood/mucus present in her stool, then she should be seen by a vet right away!

The diarrhea could be caused by any number of things; intestinal parasites, a bacterial infection, even being constipated will sometimes manifest as diarrhea because liquid feces is all that will get by the impacted fecal material. It could be as simple as a dietary indiscretion, meaning she might have gotten into the trash and eaten something that didn't agree with her. Try taking away all food, treats included, for 24 hours (only if she is an adult dog; puppies should never be fasted for more than 12 hours). She can still have water. This will give her gut a chance to rest. After the 24 hours are up, introduce just a small amount of her normal food. Wait a little while and give her a little more. Keep doing this until she has had her normal amount for the morning. However, if she continues to have loose stool, or starts vomiting, loses her appetite, acts lethargic, and/or develops a fever, get her in to be seen by your vet right away as this could indicate a more serious problem.

Oh no! The diarrhea may be secondary to stress, new food, parasites, viruses or foreign objects. The good news is that Rex feels well. Maybe sure he has plenty of water and take him on more frequent potty breaks. If the diarrhea persists for 24 hours or if develops vomiting and/ lack of appetite, take him to a see a veterinarian.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Gastric upset, or gastroenteritis, can be caused by many different things including toxins, raw meat, bones, bacterial infections, viral infections, or simply a food that doesn't agree with the body. Other possible causes include IBD, food allergies, and cancers in the gut. If she has a bit of diarrhea and GI upset, but is otherwise normal, eating/drinking well, and has good energy, then she likely just ate something that upset her stomach. I recommend that you feed her a bland diet of boiled/boneless/skinless chicken breast and boiled rice, in small frequent meals for the next 3 days. After this re-introduce a good quality kibble. If the diarrhea gets bloody, she stops eating, is vomiting, or weak and lethargic, then bring her to the vet for bloodwork and x-rays. Best of luck with Daisy! I hope she feels better soon!

Hi. Yes this does sound concerning. Drooling is a sign of nausea usually, or an oral irrirant or lesion in the mouth. If she has diarrhea too, I would say its most likely nausea. This can be caused by gi disease, something they ate, infection, something stuck in intestines, or many other causes. She should be seen with these signs.

This is probably just from him getting something rich he was not used to eating. I would keep an eye on things, as long as he improves and is back to normal in a day or so, not to worry. However, if he is lethargic, starts to vomit, the loose stool/diarrhea continues, is not interested in food, or anything else that seems abnormal for him, get him in to be seen by your vet as there may be something more than a brief dietary indiscretion going on.
