| Diarrhea Question Hello Everyone, My little boy, Watson, is 11 months old and is a healthy happy boy. Yesterday, he started to have diarrhea (small amounts of watery stool 3 or 4 times a day). He is otherwise normal. High energy, cold wet nose, no sign of a fever. Each time he has to go it is sudden and seems to surprise him as much as us! We haven't changed his food or anything, but we did give him a small amount of plain turkey after dinner the other day as a thanksgiving treat. I don't know if the turkey could have upset his system since he doesn't get people food normally. He is still drinking water, but not a lot. I have tried putting water on his kibble to get some more water in his diet. He ate a little. I'm worried about him getting dehydrated. Suggestions? It's been 24 hours. I was reading that you should fast them for 24 hours, which we are starting today, but any suggestions to get him to drink? Thanks for the help everyone! Cbucks |

| How is your pup today? If he's still having diarrhea, I would take him to the vet. Hope it's nothing serious!

| He is still peppy, but despite our efforts he still has the runs. He has a vet appointment this afternoon. Thanks! |
