Well first off, I would say that diharrea is abnormal and if it continues there must be an underlying issue. Secondly, I was never exactly sure why my puppy was having it. Without being too graphic, we noticed that there was a trace amount of blood and some sort of fatty substance. His stool would be normal for about 5 days or so, and then he would have some episode of diaharrea. The vet said that it may be a case of inflammatory bowel syndrome. But, further testing showed some sort of liver/pancreatic digestive fluid imbalance. I dont remember the names of the drugs but he took some medicine for a few weeks, but the diaharrea persisted. We continued to give him pumpkin and yogurt and eventually (2 or 3 months) later it all went away.
All in all, it was pretty expensive and we never found out exactly what was wrong. We were just happy to finally have a happy and healthy little guy. |
