Dog has watery diarrhea for a week, still active. Home remedies?

A veterinary probiotic, FortiFlora, ProStora or ProViable, may help. You can get any one of them from your veterinarian or in the local Petco. A teaspoon or two of plain yogurt along with a bland diet may also help.

Congrats on your new dog! Yes, a bland diet is a good idea when a dog has diarrhea, and the stress of moving into a new house could be causing it. I'd keep a close eye on him, and if the bland diet doesn't help over the next 24 hours, then I would take him into a vet to get checked out. I hope this helps.

Hello, sorry to hear about Meeko. It does indeed sound like he could be dealing with a little of stress colitis. You can offer him a bland diet for the next 3-5 days consistent of plain white rice, skinless and boneless boiled chicken, and low fat cottage cheese. If this does not improve his stools, or if he continues to have worsening urgency or blood in his stools then he may need anti-diarrhea medications and should be seen by his veterinarian. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Yes, I would keep her on that diet and I would also add in a probiotic like FortiFlora. It must be a probiotic made for dogs even if you can’t get the specific one. I think it is the best. One packet on the food daily and I would do it for at least two weeks no matter when the diarrhea stops.

Diarrhea doesn't mean Panfilo is going to die. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Feed him 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.

These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the intestine, the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. A probiotic like pro-kolin can be added to the diet. I would definitely recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.

It is possible for stress to be causing diarrhea but unusual for it to last this long. Sunny could have mild inflammation of his colon or even a bacterial infection. Sometimes a few days of a bland diet such as white rice and boiled chicken is helpful but other times antibiotics are needed. If you do a bland diet and the diarrhea resolves then you can slowly re-introduce his normal dog food over a few days. If you try the bland diet and the diarrhea continues then Sunny should get checked out by his veterinarian as he could become dehydrated or it could indicate something more serious like inflammatory bowel disease. if it anytime Sunny becomes weak, has vomiting, the diarrhea becomes bloody or he stops eating then he needs to get examined by his veterinarian.
