My dog Bandit is an 85 pound Border Collie mix rescue. On my morning run today from 10 to 11 am, he had diarrhea. He went three times and by the third time it was straight water. What should I look for or do for him today?

Hello Diedra,

If your dog is not feeling better , or if the diarrhea continues you should bring him to see your veterinarian as soon as possible.

Diarrhea can cause dehydration and an anti-diarrheal, or fluids may be indicated.

In most cases acute diarrhea is short lived and self limiting. But diarrhea of longer than one day, or severe in its onset should be addressed by your veterinarian.

If the diarrhea persists, or you get concerned you and Bandit can see me at the clinic.

Sincerely,
