i'd go to the vet if stools are not normal and i personally wouldn't recommend giving anymore pepto until you ask a vet about the correct dosage for your pup's size.
this comes from someone who works for a vet hospital and has experience in this matter.
edited to add: i'm very shocked also that a one time only poster would advise dosages and you would listen to someone with no previous experience or postings on here. i am glad that it did seem to work for you but in the future i wouldn't personally listen to someone with little posting on here or anyone other than a vet about dosages. |
I struggle to understand why people take advise from untrained people too but they do. I can understand asking about a situation so they can call their vet with questions but that's all.
