| Has the runs Lexi has had the runs since thursday Not all the time still going the same amount but the stoll is really soft and runny. Tonight it had a bunch of juice like clear stuff in it, what is that. I don't think it requires and emergency vet visit, but it still worries me. Still eating, drinking, playing that same but has soft poops. What can I do? thank you

| yeah i have heard of the glands expressed thing before we thought we would have to do that when we first got her, she was about 4 months at the time but eventually it passed itself. I just feel bad for her, she is draggin her tush on the floor and walking like she has hemroids. Can I do anything until monday when i can take her to the vet? I gave her a nyla bone this week which she usually only gets on occassion and the day after the poops started so i don't know if they are related or not....since it was a day later. I just want to stop the poops, i feel so bad for her. She is still playing and eating so she should be fine till monday right? I am basically looking for reassurance!!!!! CAN I WAIT?

| Im so sorry your little one is sick with the runs. You can give her boil chicken and rice. You will find Pedialyte in the baby dept. is electrolytes for babies when they have diarrhea or are vomitting. If she still playing, drinking and eating keep an eye on her and if she keeps having the runs next week I will take her to the vet just to be safe. Please keep us posted. |

| Def. give pedialyte in her water (you'll find it in the baby section at the grocery store. Make sure you get the unflavored one, mix 1/2 part water and 1/2 part pedialyte). Only feed her plain chicken (boil it, without salt or any seasoning) and mix with white rice...feed her that until her stool becomes hard again and the runs stop. I would take her to the vet if I were you. That happened to my Louie and he became really weak...and yorkies will play and keep acting energetic no matter how sick they may feel (at least that's the case with my pup). Good luck and keep us posted on how she's feeling.

| thaks for the advice i took her off solid food yesterday and put her on chicken broth for 24 hours then re-introduced her food again today and she scarfed it down and now has the runs again. She was off dry foor for about 18 hours should i have gone longer? Should i take the solid food away again? I can start the chicken broth thing, and how about rice? I have pediylite in the closet, so i guess i will start that again. Thank you I don't have to rush her to the vet tonight or anything right? she is playing, and eating just the poops

| I would do away with the solid food until her stool becomes completely solid again. Try just feeding her the chicken with the rice and water with pedialyte-no treats, snacks, etc. Give her more rice than chicken, rice binds you and it should make the pooping stop-however when I had this incident with my baby, nothing was helping, not the rice...nothing he continued to poop. Towards the end he was pooping every 15 mins. and it was a clear water and he scooted his butt as well. Keep your eye on her, make sure she is drinking her water so that she doesn't become dehydrated. If I were you, honestly I would take her to the emergency room-but I'm a nervous nelly. And you know your baby best, I just saw that Louie was very week and the pooping was getting to be more and more often and I couldn't take it anymore. They gave him a shot in the emergency room to stop the poops. I continued to give him chicken and rice until his stool was very solid again and then I mixed a little bit of his kibble, chicken and rice and every day weaned him off the chicken and rice a little more. How is she doing now??

| Pedialyte Solution unflavoured use to quickly replace fluids and electrolytes lost during diarrhea and vomiting to help prevent dehydration in infants it is also good for dogs. |

| So i had some pedialyte on had and tried to put it in her water but she caught onto that trick with the first lick so i gave her 3cc through a medice stick. I will continue to do so for the next day or so till I call the vet on monday she should be fine right?

| Boiled chicken and white rice should do the trick. Make sure to give lots of water too with the Pediolyte!!!!!! Even when the runs stop, you have to re-introduce solid kibble very slowly, mixed in with the chicken and rice or you may go back to the runs. good luck and keep us posted, and of course if you try this with no luck and the runs persist, a vet trip would be advised. |

| No worms in her poops, they are just really soft and smelly. MOre juice stuff in her poop then anything. So when you say rice is it white rice, like the instant rice in a bag. I gave her some pedialyte a few minutes ago, and we are going to go to bed soon, should i make her rice now or wait till the a.m.
