diarrhea . please help!

[TriadGSD]

yesterday i got home from work Triad pooped in the house it was like pudding. ever since 3am he woke me up i take him out he goes he done i bring him in 5- 10 minutes later he needs to go out again. i am getting really tired of taking him out and hearing his whine. i would stick him out in the back yard but he ends up barking and if i have to bring him in i have to chase him around yard because he thinks its a game. anyways, how do i get the diarrhea to stop?!

ps and he hasnt eaten anything yet either. thanks

How many times has he had diarrhea?

Is it all poop, is there any blood?

Any vomiting?

Is he drinking?

Would he take food if you offered it (little piece of something bland)?

Is he active?

Does he have a temperature?

When you answer these questions, call the vet and report them all to them and see what they say.

Canned pumpkin, the one that is pure pumpkin with no spices in it. It will help for both diarhea and constipation. Mix it in with his food if he will not eat it by itself, maybe a tablespoon full with each meal. Hope that your boy gets to feeling better. Make sure that he is drinking plenty of water also you don't want him to dehydrate. If he is still having the runs tomorrow you may want to contact a vet or take him in. Good luck.

You also may want to run to a petsmart or pet supply store and pick up some Pet Pectillin. This will provide relief for diarrhea. My vet approves of this for minor bouts of diarrhea.

Agree with others tho, if the runny stools continue much longer or get worse it's best to go to the vet.

Feed him boiled chicken and rice for his meals until he has firm stools again. Then, gradually mix in some of his regular food with each meal until you are feeding him all dog food again. This always works when my dog gets the runs.

thanks Wolfies mom i will try that too. Update today his stools were more solid and not liquid i gave him spoonful of pumpkin last night when he ate and this morning when he ate.
now he dont eat unless he has to i dont he is afraid he get the runs again or what. i for to mentioned i changed his food on the 1st of january from royal caine large breed puppy to merrick brand (forgot which flavor) i mixed both till the RC was gone but he was doing fine with it. should i go back to RC?

I found that rice and pumpkin work very well together for a couple days.
