Wet Farts!!??
 

Coco has had really bad diahrea since sunday night (well almost monday morning) at 2am. She has a few pieces of solid poop and the rest runny poo. She was having wet farts too...groosssssssss!!! Her tummy was making funny sounds but when I looked at her rear, HERE'S THE GROSS PART, there was wet bubbles, then she had exploding poop (yes at 2am). I gave her chicken and rice, all day yesterday and it didn't help. I started giving her the antidiahrea meds she got last time. So I hope it works. I don't know what she couldn't have eaten as I am always watching her. Anyone else ever have weird, random bouts of diahrea (well not you, but your dog)? What else can I do?

My vet always had me fast Chachi for a short period of time when he had diahrea.

hahaha
 

not funny I know but can't help but laugh. I can just picture you with a pair of googles or something looking at her bum!

Yea let me tell you, at 2 am, it's not as funny as it is later in the morning when you think "Did she really have wet farts?!" Yea it was gross. I just put her in the bathtub and washed her whole backside :eek:

OMG Nobella, she sharted!!! :lol tears If you've seen, Along Came Polly, you will know what I am talking about!

Ok, sorry, I know this isn't funny. Hope she feels better soon! :)

Ewwww, poor baby. I am sorry but the visual of you at 2am is just to funny.
I hope she is feeling much better today.

HAHAHA I hadn't thought about it. SHE DID SHART....looool...Yea I was all sleepy, half drowsy, hair everywhere, clothes all crooked..it was not a pretty picture let me tell you. I just hope she gets better soon. I had to clean her up again this morning :eek: Gross...And it's weird because she has 2 solid poops in her runny poo..not to be gross but it's like she is capable of making solid poo since they are there, but why the runny poo,,,,why oh whyyyyyyy??

No new food or supplements? My 2 will get random diahrrea that usually only lasts for 24 hours. I have meds from vet I use which usually clears it up pretty fast. Is she eating normally? I hope she feels better soon.

OMG!!! Poor CoCo! Sorry that you had to experience wet fats and I hope that she is feeling better but it's kinda funny!!!!!!!

I added Nutro Chicken and Rice for sensitive tummies to her regular kibble. But that was like almost 3 weeks ago. She didn't have a problem before or right away because I started her on it slow. I just added them to her Innova. I have the anti-diahrea meds and started giving it to her last night but she still had explosive poop this morning. She's eating and playing normal, just runny poop. My boyfriend did give her two quarter sized pieces of bundt cake on saturday, do you think that might have done the trick? If so please tell me and I will make him come over and clean the sharts..lol...She was farting all day. It got so bad my boyfriend and I had to leave the house because we were getting grossed out from the smell..lol

Ramsey's toots (girls don't fart, Nobella...they toot) can clear a room. I don't wanna experience explosive poop or wet farts. :eek: Hope Coco's pooper gets better soon.

I know my poor girl, I embarrased her. She'll never forgive me for revealing her TOOTS and POO's on a public forum :p

A symptom of giardia is explosive diarrhea. One of my Yorkies had a very sensitive stomach which could be set off with something as simple as one Cheese Nip. The reaction always occurred within 24 hours or less though. I think if she isn't better by tomorrow I would take her to the vet.

I did a quick search on giardia - and that is what it sounds like. It even mentions the solid pieces of stool.

Baby had exploding poop once. It was GROSS!! She started to poop on the carpet (in my old apartment). I picked her up to put her on the pee pad, and she still pushed. Well...poop shot out of her hiney like a machine gun!!! :eek: It got all over the floor and wall. I hope that never happens again! :eek:

PS. Maybe you get give her some Pepto.

I've never seen Coco as having a sensitive tummy but I don't know how she would have contracted Giardia, as she isn't around other dogs. I'm also not affected by it, since it's supposed to be contagious to humans as well. Also she's not lathargic or anything. Her appetite is good and she's still playful. I made an appointment for her for 5pm tomorrow. If by then she gets better I will just cancel the appointment, otherwise I will take her.

OMG poor baby. Ok Coco's wasn't explosive like that, by explosive I just mean a lot..lol.. For your sake and Baby's I hope the poor girl has no more issues

Yeah, me too! LOLOL. It was actually when I first got her (within the week I think). I said to myself (for about a second or two ;) ) What did I do getting a dog!?! :eek: Well, I don't say that anymore...well, sometimes when she chews up everything. LOL Like last night!!! She almost chewed through the cord on my NEW Bissell carpet cleaner. She is soooooooooo lucky it still works! :mad:

No I think you are lucky it still works...lol..you know you wouldn't do anything to Baby other than the look of shame, which they have gotten so used to, they just brush off..lol..My poor baby, thinking of her makes me so sad right now, all Tooty and poopy. I really don't think she has giardia. Anyone else have experience with this?

She gets more than a look! LOLOL I run around the house like a mad woman pulling out my hair and yelling "What did you do?!?!?!" :eek: LOLOL But nothing phases this poo poo head!!!! :D

Okay...back on topic...someone help vainchick's poo poo head! LOL

Anyone have experience with Giardia or anything like what Coco is going through??

Poor baby I hope she feels better. I also hope you don't have to go around picking up anymore wet poop.Hee, hee, hee...Sorry couldn't resist...but really Get well soon to Coco.

Thanks me too..lol

Sadie had a poop problem in the middle of the night once, too. It was around midnight, I think. She immediately went to the sink & got a "Butt Bath", as I call them,...only the back end got bathed. Yeah, doggie diarrhea is not fun.

Alot of Breeders use 1 tbsp on canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) 3-4 times a day

Re: How to Treat Diarrhea At Home Now.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I see a variety of pets with a number of problems..But Diarrhea is at the TOP of the list.

Fortunately, most cases of diarrhea are caused by dietary indescrations, and some SIMPLE, SAFE Home Remedies can help you avoid a trip to the Vet.

Here is what I advise.


FLUID..Ensure that your pet doesn't get dehydrated.

You can assess hydration status by checking their gums.

Lift up the lips, and place your finger on the gums. If the gums are dry and tacky, then your pet is dehydrated.

Skin Tent is another method. Gently pinch the skin behind the head over the shoulder blades forming a tent. It should rapidly return to normal within 2 seconds. If the gums are dry and the skin tent is prolonged, then your pet is dehydrated and needs fluid.

I find an electrolyte solution, such as Pedialyte is best. You can force it in with a syringe or Turkey Baster. Give a 10lb cat 1 tablespoon ( 25ml) at a time. A 40lb dog should get 100ml or approx 1/2 a cup. This can be repeated every 4 hours. The daily fluid needs for a 40 lb dog are 4 cups.


24 HOUR FAST. Stop putting food into your pet for 24 hours (Day 1). This allows the intestines to rest and regenerate. Always have access to plenty of fresh water.

After 24 hours, introduce a bland food for the next 24 hours (Day 2). Plain cooked white rice for dogs, feeding equivalent cups of rice as their normal diet. For cats, protein is essential, try cooked chicken breast with the rice.

After a day of the bland food mix ½ regular diet and ½ bland diet (Day 3). By the end of Day 3, they should be back on their normal diet.


HOMEOPATHIC. Nux vomica is good for the entire intestinal tract. Use the 30C potency giving 2-3 tablets twice daily as needed.


HUMAN REMEDIES. PeptoBismal is an old standby that can be effective for dogs. The dog dose is 1ml/10lbs of body weight given three times daily for no more than 7 days. Immodium (Loperamide) is the only safe over-the-counter anti-diarrhea drug for cats: give .25mg/10lbs of body weight three times daily for 2 days (it comes as a liquid of 1mg/5ml, meaning you can give 1ml to a 10lb cat three times daily); dogs can get .5mg/10lbs three times daily (give your 40 lb dog one 2mg tablet three times daily).

Feel Better Fast Coco
 

:yeahthat: Gosh Nobella!!! :rolleyes: Hope Coco is all pooped out by now!;)

Poor little thing~ No more descriptions necessary...lol :tongue: Just let us know how she is!:getwellso

She apparently was not all pooped out.lol...sorry for the gross descriptions. I got home from work and she still has diarrhea but it's looking a little more firm but still runny. I am worried about putting her on a fast because she's so little I don't want her to throw up from an empty stomach, which she does. I have an appointment for her at the vets tomorrow. I don't mind if it's just diarrhea but I hope it's nothing more serious. But at least I take comfort in knowing she's the same spunky coco mo as always.

Ok so went to the vet and no giardia or anything. In fact it turns out that daddy may have given the baby a small piece of pound cake "ON ACCIDENT" and I bet the butter was too much for her tummy. But the vet gave her antibiotics just in case there are any bacterias in there.

Nobella, I am glad to hear that poor poopie Coco is doing better. :D :D Tell boyfriend no more pound cake....

So glad that she is ok!! :)
