I think I would get a fecal test done. I agree with Chaci most likely it is a problem that a vet can clear up - coccidia, giardia, worms, etc. Rice is good at firming up stools and Pedialyte is good at restoring the electrolytes lost in diarrhea while your waiting, but if your vet is open on Saturdays I would definitely bring down a sample. You could also try giving yogurt (good bacteria to overcome any bad bacteria in the intestinal tract), but the lactose could cause diarrhea so I prefer to give lactobili sp? (live bacteria cultures) powder which you can buy in health food stores. It should need refrigeration to be a good product. All of my suggestions, will not overcome a need for antibiotics if it is a parasite, but it will help if for some reason you have to wait until Monday. |
