Help - Oreo has Diarrhea My Oreo has had diarrehea for the last couple of days and I'm not sure why that is, its a dark brown color. He is 16 weeks old and weighs about 4.5ibs. He has been on the Blue Buffalo Life Protection (Small Breed) Puppy food for the last month or so and he likes it alot. He always cleans his bowl when I feed him. Any suggestions would be glady appreciated. TJ |

Thanks. He will be at the vet in the morning for his last set of puppy vaccinations, so I will be able to have them check him out. As far as a fecal sample, it will be hard to get if his stool is not solid, can they still test it no matter what form it's in? |

ALSO, if he is still not feeling well and still having diarrhea tomorrow when he goes for his vac's, DO NOT get them done while he still has the problem. |

Thanks I will definitely remember that. I don't need to add more to the already existing condition. Funny thing is he still eats, plays, runs around. Only thing I think this could be is I bought him a new beef bully stick the other day and he has been tearing it up, could it be a bad stick?. Any thoughts on that being the issue? |

Will do. He hasn't had it since yesterday so hopefully his stomach will get better. I guess I might need to research bully sticks his stomach can tolerate. Thanks for quality responses!! |
The very best thing for the runs is boiled chicken, white rice , and pumpkin. I would not get him his shots right now, and would put that bully stick away for sure. Good luck with your baby! |
Okay. I did the chicken, rice, and pumpkin. I think I could of got away without the pumpkin though because I still didn't get a bowel movement until later in the day and some was firm and some was muddy like. I still took Oreo to the vet and got his vaccines, the vet checked him and he seemed normal...nothing out of the ordinary so I went ahead with the vaccinations...he didn't like them but he seems okay just a little sore. He was passing his stool more yesterday evening so at least he is doing something but hopefully today it gets better. Thanks for all the good comments. |
Is Oreo doing any better? |
He hasn't lost his appetite and his demeaner hasn't change, so he is doing well. I just can't say that for his stomach yet. Thanks for asking TJ |
stay away from the bullys if he had the runs after eating it. Jess can eat anything, carrots, beans, apples turkey, chicken, cheese, meat, but put a bully stick in front of her and its diarreah doody time |
Okay its been almost a week and Oreo's stool is still mushy and soft. The vet said to give him rice and eggs mixed with a little his dry food so he doesn't go on a hunger strike when he is finally better and not getting the rice and eggs anymore. Another thing is I keep him in a pen in my bathroom since I live in an apartment and work during the day and I swear he smears his footsies in there on purpose so I have to clean them all the time. |
