| When your sliding into first,& u feel something burst...diaharreah Good Morning! My dog Tico has had diahearra (spelling)? for the past couple of weeks. This basically happened, when he was introduced to a fine female yorkie. They shared his pen together for an evening of romance? Nothing much happened, because he is too young to do it. But I guess Tico had fun trying. Then the fine female yorkie took him home to her house for 24 hours. Tico ate her food. He comes back home, and has diaharrea. So two weeks go by, we take him to the vet, the diaharrea stops. THe vet gives him some medicine, maybe for a bactierial infection, from maybe eating her dog food, which is wet dog food, which we do not feed Tico. He eats all natural dog food. So then we gave him his medicine for 8 days, and it stopped for a few days...but now its getting a yellowish brownish deep hot mustard color..and a little more runnier..still somewhat thickish, but not quite...So for sure back to the vet...he is also going to get neutered Oct 27, to help stop his peeing/marking on his cage while we are away. So as for the diahera how can we help him get over it..? |

My furkids Donating Member | I have heard if you give them canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling...just plain pumpkin) that this will help. If he is still like this tomorrow I would probably call your vet. Hope he's going to be alright.

| It soundsl like Tico needs to go back to the vet - and perhaps do a smear and/or bloodwork to determine the cause of the diarrhea. You need to treat the cause rather than the symptoms and it might take some testing to determine that. |

| Pumpkin How much canned pumpkin should we give him. The whole can, or a few table spoons? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | You def. need to get a fecal test done - he could have giardia or something else. He cannot be neutered while having diarrhea, btw.
