help please sassy has the runs We are on vacation in Florida and Sassy has the runs. we have been here for 6 weeks so i no it is not the trip down, and we don't let her outside for a minute so i have no idea why she has it. She has had it for 2 days now but she is acting fine other than that I was thinking about giving her imodium has anyone ever given this to there dog. She is 6 months old and weighs about 4 lbs and has been totally healthy till now |
Maybe she just needs some bland food for a few days. I give mine Science Diet I/D that I get from the Vet when mine have the runs. It is a very bland wet food. Or you could boil some chicken and make some rice to give her. I know that with mine, sometimes they seem to get the runs for no apparent reason. I just feed bland food for about 3 days and it goes away. I hope she feels better soon! |
i remjember on here somewhere they were talking about giving canned pumpkin. i will see if i can find it for you. |
here is one of them. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...hlight=pumpkin |
here is one about the kaopectate. sounds like you need to be careful with that one. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...canned+pumpkin woops sorry you said imodium. |
how much imodium do you think i should give her |
sometimes when they ( and humans too ) have the runs..,, it is a bug that needs to get out of our system,,,, if you give them something to stop it up then the bug will get worse...,,, When one of my little ones got the runs after the vet checked out everything and did stool cultures then the vet told me to give him imodium... I don't remember what the dossage was.... you may want to let it see if you can let it run its course with bland diet for a couple more days,,, |
I dont know about immodium but you can give pepto bismal. 1 tsp every 6 hrs |

It isn't what she ate or didn't eat. She's stressed, plain and simple. Just keep her with you, don't leave her alone in any strange place, and feed her some yummy baby food finger sticks and baby food toddler carrots and greenbeans. Make sure she is drinking enough bottled water. |
