| Gabby has diaherra...what do I do? My dog started having diaherra around 7:30 last night. I read on here to give her pumpkin, of which I did. She has gone this morning and it looks better but not the consistency it normally is. Do I give her food this morning or hold off on giving her food for now? |

| IMHO: If it's bloody diarrhea get to the vet. If her gums are sticky she is dehydrated, get to the vet. If her gums are pale, get to the vet. If her gums are moist and pink, and she's drinking, you can try a bland diet (chicken (no bones, skin or fat) and rice 1:1), a tsp of pumpkin won't hurt. If the diarrhea continues into/past 24 hours, get to the vet. This is assuming that she's been vetted in the past 6 months and has had good blood work and no parasites, and is over a year old. If she's under a year old, I'd take her to the vet.

| Diarrhea in small in small breeds must be watched closely, can lead to dehydration. If it last for 24 hours take to the vet. If diarrhea has blood, take to vet. if diarrhea has blood with mucus take to the vet. try feeding, boiled 85 % fat free or higher chop meat with rice, 2 TBSP of boiled chop meat to 1/2 cup of uncooked rice. boil chop meat in a fry pan with enough water to cover chop meat, mash the chop meat as its cooking, will take a few minutes. Boil 1/2 cup rice. when rice and chop meat are cook, mix together. or 2 TBSP cottage cheese to 2/3 cup uncooked rice. Cook rice then mix in the cottage cheese. feed in place of their reg. food. If after 24 hours and still has diarrhea take to the vet with sample of feces. |

| How is Gabby doing this morning? With a 12 week old puppy, and only 2.5 pounds, I would see the vet. Little ones can go down so quickly. Did she have anything different to eat? Or is she eating the same diet that she had at the breeder's home?

| We haven't changed her diet. She acted fine the whole time. Played and ran around but you could tell her tummy was messed up. I am still going to call the vet today and see what he says. I appreciate everyone who responded. This website has helped me so much. |
