So about 4 days ago a piece of ham flew off my plate and before I could say no it was gone, we then had a really loose stool. The following day he seemed to be fine and we got new treats in the mail. All natural but a lot of different ingredients that he has never before. I woke up 2 days ago to a poop massacre spots of really loose stool all over my bedroom. I decided not to give him those treats as I thought maybe he just wasn't used to them. During all this time he pretty much has been himself especially 2 nights ago he was running around like a mad man. Well I was just sitting here I thought he tooted, and leaned over a few minutes later to tell him he was stinky and give him kisses. Well I picked him up to love on him and his poor butt was wet

He had poop all over his butt. So, now I am starting to get worried, as he has been sleeping all day and I haven't seen him eat really anything. I thought for sure it was the cookies but he hasn't had those for 2 days now.. Could those still be effecting him...should I bring him to the Vet tomorrow? I am starting to get worried. Any suggestions. I feel horrible for him.

4 days is a long time to be having diarrhea. You might want to take him in for a stool sample and a check-up.

Thats kinda what I thought, but even if its just loose, not necessarily diarrhea?

I'd say you might want to call the vet tomorrow - since it's Friday. If you don't call tomorrow, you might not be able to get him in until Monday!

Poor Parker! I'd get to the vet 1st thing in the morning. Maybe eating a bit of rice or some banana might help in firming up the stools until then

poor baby, I hope everything is ok with him

Ellie May · 02-07-2008, 08:41 PM

I would be concerned that it happened right after the ham and he's laying around now. It is very important that you take him.

My vet is great, we will be seen for sure tomorrow!! Now I am getting scared!

But I have to say he was fine after the ham, it was the treats he had...I think...and its like in waves, just today was the first day he has been acting really glum. But we will go to be on the safe side regardless!

We went through this with Gracie after we first got her. She had diarrhea at first then it turned to real loose stools. We called the vet, and they said to give her yogurt and rice. We took her in the next day and they checked her for coccidia and giardia, but she had neither. The loose stools continued so our vet gave us some ID diet (canned prescription food). This cleared up the diarrhea almost immediately. We kept her on this exclusively for about 3 days then gradually switched her back to her regular food. We've had no problems since.

Hope this helps
