Remy is having WATERY POOP!!! PLEASE HELP!!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

gusremy · 03-10-2008, 09:16 AM

for the past 2 weeks or so my 6month old baby girl has been having watery poop, and its really starting to bug me. She will leave trails of slimy poop on her pee pee pads. i have been feeding her blue buffalo for about a month now and before that i was feeding her science diet. but when i started feeding her blue buffalo she was great in the begining. im not sure if the food is the problem. she is good, she runs around with gus and plays and plays. she doesnt seem sick or anything. i put food in her bowl (free feed) and have water available all day long. Is there anything i can do to make her poop hard again????

Please any suggestions would help. i also have a vet appointment on Friday, but is there anything i can use to make it stop before i go to the vet?

what kind of food is she on? Give her about a teaspoon of canned pumpkin, that should help..I also gave mine 1/2 of a childs pepto bismol when mine had the runs the other day..

This is NOT normal,I would not wait till your upcoming appointment on friday to get your puppy in. Diarrhea is a common ailment but if it has lasted for 24 hours or longer it needs to be checked out by your vet ASAP! This can be caused by many factors including viruses, bacteria, intestinal parasites,too much food, toxic substances or psychological upsets. You should never hesitate to call your vet if you feel something is not right with your pup or if you have any concerns regarding it's health.

You can find plain canned pumpkin at the grocery store in the section where pie fillings are found. Are you giving her any kind of treats or chew sticks that could possibly be making her sick? Do you take her outside? I would be very concerned if she has watery diarrhea that long. She could possibly have coccidia or giardia. I would recommend taking a stool sample to the vets and get it checked.

yea i give her treats here and there, but she seems to chew on everything and eat everything she sees on the floor. my fiance and i took her out last week because 2 weeks before that she just finished all her shots. as far as chew sticks, i dont have any of those as treats.

2 weeks is a long time for your pup to be having runny poop...has she been wormed recently? My Pixie has runny poop right now..started yesterday..so off to the vet we go..i know what the cause probably is too...she got to some Rabbit droppings while out for a walk the other day!

everytime she manages to eat any i just KNOW what effect it will have on her! she seems to love the stuff! and cat poop too! eeeewwwww!

keep your pup away from Rabbit droppings! it really upsets their little tummies!

I agree with above comments though...a vet visit asap.

Visit the vet and get some ALBON... it sure clear up the "runs" right away. I agree with everyone else... two weeks is a long time for runny stool.

Best of luck!

The vet needs to find out what is wrong with your pup before just giving Albon. If the puppy has giardia then he would need another kind of treatment. Albon works great for coccidia and bacterial infections.
