go to a vet!

Try some of these ideas. Doggie Diarrhea Remedies To Try At Home Written by Lynnette on February 24, 2006 | Comments (57) Dealing with a case of doggie diarrhea? I used to work at a vet. While I was there, I learned a few "home remedies" for some common pet ailments. The most popular home remedy we doled out to clients was for doggie diarrhea. Thankfully, it can often be treated at home yourself. I have personally tried each of the following home remedies with our dogs, and usually their diarrhea clears up in about 24 hours! I thought I'd share, in order to assist canine owners everywhere when their pooch gets a case of the runs... Home Remedies For Doggie Diarrhea These are the best home remedies for treating a case of diarrhea in your dog: Instead of their usual dog food, give your pet small servings of a bland diet 4-5 times throughout the day. Choose from: * cooked white rice (no butter or flavorings) * Only Natural Pet Storecottage cheese (no liquid) * boiled chicken (no grease, no skin, no flavorings) * boiled turkey (no grease, no skin, no flavorings) * scrambled egg (no butter or oil) * boiled egg (no butter or oil) * boiled potato (no skin or flavorings) * baked potato (no skin or flavorings) Continue to feed several small servings of this bland diet for a couple days in gradually increasing amounts until a formed stool is passed. Then, start to wean your pet back to its regular food over the course of a week by gradually working in small amounts of their regular dry dog food. Do not give your pet bones, snacks or table scraps, because they may irritate the intestinal tract during this time. Dogs can also be given a dose of Pepto Bismol every 6 hours. (Dosage depends on your dog's weight: 1 ml per lb.) Bonus, the Pepto Bismol also works to stop vomiting. Two other over-the-counter medicines can be given to dogs with diarrhea: Imodium AD (1 ml per lb. every 8 hours) and Kaopectate (1 ml per lb. every 2 hours). Please heed this word of warning before you dispense human medications to your pet. Vet or no vet?
