Need advice-Haruka has diahrrea As some of you may know I am watching Michiko's little Haruka. She has been with me since Friday and Michiko left Saturday from here to go to Japan. Michiko said it was ok to give Haruka a little of my girls California Natural wet food and little pieces of zukes salmon treats. She was fine on Friday and Saturday but by Saturday night I had Haruka and all 4 of mine with diahrrea (mine ate some of her Solid Gold wee bits). So Saturday night/Sunday morning was spent doing constant butt baths. I have them all back on their food only and gave each of mine some Rx medicine I have for 2 of mine that have tummy problems on and off and they are all fine. I did not want to give Haruka medicine since she is not my dog and Michiko mentioned not to get alarmed if she had a little loose stools. Well last night she went 5 times starting at 10 pm until 1 am. She has not gone since and seems ok just a little sad from missing Mom. It is difficult to get a hold of Michiko and I don't want to worry her but I am a big worrier especially when it is not my dog. My concern is that she may be having the diahrrea from stress. She is not use to being around so many other dogs all the time, even though they are not bothering her and she is playing occassionally. She definitely likes to be with people rather than the other dogs.
My question is it seems like her diahrrea is only at night and maybe it is from stress not diet what home remedies can I try to get her tummy settled? I do have a can of pumpkin will that help with diahrea or only constipation. I am leary of changing her diet much, but she needs something to help her tummy settle. Also she really wants what my others are eating and I feel so bad not giving her treats. |
