| Diarrhea Help So My baby has diarrhea, more loose stool than watery, since last night I'm not really sure what's going on I didn't change his diet I'm assuming he might've ate something off the floor or something outside is there anything I can give him to help relieve it??? Some of it last night was slimy too |

| your sure he didnt pass something from his anal sac?? sometimes they pass what builds up in there on their own...I have two that do on their own and one who needs to go to the vet when she scoots as she will not pass it on her own. cedric usually will have a lil slimy loose type of stool when it happens. but the smell is different so I know that's where it came from. just a thought in case. I agree keep your eye on him be sure he is drinking and eating normally if it persists call your vet.

| I would take a sample to the vet to get it tested or let him check it out...slimy or greasy foul smelling (was it?) poopie sometimes means giardia. Or was it mucus slimy?

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | [Moderator note: the dose below is for a FIVE pound dog, please obtain appropriate dose from your vet] You can give him some Pepto Bismal work every time !! I give mine 1.5 tsp (from an eye dropper/suction bulb) for every 5lbs. given every 6 hrs.

| I agree, a vet visit is in order as it could be the beginning of something serious & the faster he's diagnosed & treated the better especially in a puppy. |

| It was mucus slimy. His poop already smells strong due to his diet of Orijen brand kibble but this smelt a little worse. Poor guy |

I had no idea they did that. He is still eating and drinking, limited last night but Normal this morning. I called the vet and he suggested I give him a very small amount of Imodium because he only weighs 3 pounds and he said that if it persists just to bring him in. I'm going to try. Thank you for the info! | |

| I do not give over the counter meds unless directed by a vet. If one of mine has loose stools, I may try pumpkin, but not for long...diarrhea can lead to dehydration especially in a 3 pound pup. I would be at my vet. I have never ever been told to give immodium and certainly would not be happy with a vet who guessed the dosage...give a small amount is not a dosage! If this diarrhea continues, he needs to go to the vet...or at least take a specimen in to be checked out.
