This may sound like too simple a solution, but my lil Yorkie girl (5.5 lbs) went through an episode of what was termed acute gastroentritis this last winter which started with diarrhea, then turned to bloody diarrhea followed by a trip to the vet and a nite at the ER vet accompanied by a lot of scans and blood tests. She's always been sensitive to anything too high in fats, as if her pancreas is over reactive so I'm now careful not to allow her table scraps and to stick to her Hills Prescription Diet. But recently, the last couple of times she began having diarrhea out of the blue again, I did what my vet once suggested I do when she seemed to be having tummy troubles and gave her 1/4 of a regular Pepcid AC twice a day for a couple of days. That did the trick both times and ended the episodes as soon as they started. She immediately went back to normal digestion, and it wasn't ever necessary to make a trip to the vet. You might try this as long as the diarrhea hasn't progressed to an extreme point. I think the trick is to catch it early at the first sign of trouble. |
