I've never seen Coco as having a sensitive tummy but I don't know how she would have contracted Giardia, as she isn't around other dogs. I'm also not affected by it, since it's supposed to be contagious to humans as well. Also she's not lathargic or anything. Her appetite is good and she's still playful. I made an appointment for her for 5pm tomorrow. If by then she gets better I will just cancel the appointment, otherwise I will take her.

Yeah, me too! LOLOL. It was actually when I first got her (within the week I think). I said to myself (for about a second or two ) What did I do getting a dog!?! Well, I don't say that anymore...well, sometimes when she chews up everything. LOL Like last night!!! She almost chewed through the cord on my NEW Bissell carpet cleaner. She is soooooooooo lucky it still works!

I really don't think she has giardia. Anyone else have experience with this?

Sadie had a poop problem in the middle of the night once, too. It was around midnight, I think. She immediately went to the sink & got a "Butt Bath", as I call them,...only the back end got bathed. Yeah, doggie diarrhea is not fun.

Re: How to Treat Diarrhea At Home Now.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I see a variety of pets with a number of problems..But Diarrhea is at the TOP of the list.

Fortunately, most cases of diarrhea are caused by dietary indescrations, and some SIMPLE, SAFE Home Remedies can help you avoid a trip to the Vet.

Here is what I advise.


FLUID..Ensure that your pet doesn't get dehydrated.

You can assess hydration status by checking their gums.

Lift up the lips, and place your finger on the gums. If the gums are dry and tacky, then your pet is dehydrated.

Skin Tent is another method. Gently pinch the skin behind the head over the shoulder blades forming a tent. It should rapidly return to normal within 2 seconds. If the gums are dry and the skin tent is prolonged, then your pet is dehydrated and needs fluid.

I find an electrolyte solution, such as Pedialyte is best. You can force it in with a syringe or Turkey Baster. Give a 10lb cat 1 tablespoon ( 25ml) at a time. A 40lb dog should get 100ml or approx 1/2 a cup. This can be repeated every 4 hours. The daily fluid needs for a 40 lb dog are 4 cups.


24 HOUR FAST. Stop putting food into your pet for 24 hours (Day 1). This allows the intestines to rest and regenerate. Always have access to plenty of fresh water.

After 24 hours, introduce a bland food for the next 24 hours (Day 2). Plain cooked white rice for dogs, feeding equivalent cups of rice as their normal diet. For cats, protein is essential, try cooked chicken breast with the rice.

After a day of the bland food mix ½ regular diet and ½ bland diet (Day 3). By the end of Day 3, they should be back on their normal diet.


HOMEOPATHIC. Nux vomica is good for the entire intestinal tract. Use the 30C potency giving 2-3 tablets twice daily as needed.


HUMAN REMEDIES. PeptoBismal is an old standby that can be effective for dogs. The dog dose is 1ml/10lbs of body weight given three times daily for no more than 7 days. Immodium (Loperamide) is the only safe over-the-counter anti-diarrhea drug for cats: give .25mg/10lbs of body weight three times daily for 2 days (it comes as a liquid of 1mg/5ml, meaning you can give 1ml to a 10lb cat three times daily); dogs can get .5mg/10lbs three times daily (give your 40 lb dog one 2mg tablet three times daily).

She apparently was not all pooped out.lol...sorry for the gross descriptions. I got home from work and she still has diarrhea but it's looking a little more firm but still runny. I am worried about putting her on a fast because she's so little I don't want her to throw up from an empty stomach, which she does. I have an appointment for her at the vets tomorrow. I don't mind if it's just diarrhea but I hope it's nothing more serious. But at least I take comfort in knowing she's the same spunky coco mo as always.

[vainchick5]

Ok so went to the vet and no giardia or anything. In fact it turns out that daddy may have given the baby a small piece of pound cake "ON ACCIDENT" and I bet the butter was too much for her tummy. But the vet gave her antibiotics just in case there are any bacterias in there.

[sneri13]

Nobella, I am glad to hear that poor poopie Coco is doing better. Tell boyfriend no more pound cake....

[Zeus' Mom]

So glad that she is ok!!
