My Dog Has Been Having Diarrhea For About 4 Days Now, And Is Only Eating…

My dog has been having diarrhea for about 4 days now, and is only eating at night. He will happily eat two meals worth at night. He has been having super smelly farts. I noticed that the farts seem to come mostly after he eats (several an hour for a couple hours), but through the rest of the day, its about once every few hours. His diet doesn’t really change, but he does love spending a lot of time in the back yard.

    I recommend having a vet do an exam, fecal float (to look for parasites) and possibly x-rays.  Diarrhea for 4 days in a dog this large is not an emergency but he should be seen by a vet soon.

He is a 10 week old golden doodle with an approximately 1 day duration of diarrhea and soft stools. Sometimes the stool is pudding like in consistency, other times it’s been firmer at first then got watery at the end. Volume has greatly increased as compared to previous days. No know foreign body ingestion, but it is possible.

    In the future: do NOT give your dog cooked bones.  Not once, not ever.

My dog started off with puking and not eating then she had diarrhea with some blood, we took her to the vet they wanted to keep her so we had her there for three days being that it was 4th of july weekend it was really expensive. They put her on antibiotics and fluids and when we picked her up we paid for antibiotics that we could bring home along with nausea medicine. She is home now and still very sick. She does not have parvo, I dont know what to do.

    How can I tell my dog is getting better, or any signs or recovering.

    Hello,

    sorry to hear you dog is so sick. What did your vet say was wrong with her? I would call the vet back and explain that she is not getting better and ask them. You’ve already paid for your bill there, so give a call back and explain that she is still sick. If they cannot help, find a new vet. If you cannot afford it, reach out to local rescue organizations and ask if they have any programs that can help with assistance. Ask you vet if they have Care Credit (apply for it , ask you vet how). Ask your vet if they can  take payments or if you can work off or volunteer with them to help pay for the care. .Good luck!

My puppy went on a short, hot hike yesterday. Today he is very lethargic and lays or sits down every chance he gets. There is no vomit, diarrhea, discolored tongue/gums, and he is eating and drinking. Should I worry about the lethargy?

    Yes, I would worry – give your vet a call, explain your concerns and see if they can get you in to see the doctor for a few moments.

  2. Eric Paulsen

    Thanks. I did call my vet, but based on the normalcy of everything else he wasn’t concerned and figured he was exhausted from the hike. Better safe than sorry!

  3. PK Dennis

    It is good that you had the conversation – you are right about safe/sorry!

When We Arrived Home From Work, There Was A Grease Can In The Living Room…

When we arrived home from work, there was a grease can in the living room he had gotten into. Unless it is a major coincidence, we believe that he ingested who knows how much. Are these symptoms normal for grease ingestion in a small dog? He has had no diarrhea at all, and only vomited one time. The other times he is dry heaving it kind of sounds like he is wheezing

MY Cat Has Been Sick For 5 Days With A Fever. No Vomiting No Diarrhea…

MY cat has been sick for 5 days with a fever. No vomiting no diarrhea except for a little on the second day. He has a fever, he’s drinking a lot, lethargic, not grooming. I took him to a vet who gave him something for the fever and an antibiotic shot. He’s eating and drinking which is good but the fever is not going down. The vet prescribed Fevadol which has paracetamol in it. We are in a country with no good vets and no real access to pet medication, but everything I have read says that paracetamol is poisonous to cats. I would give anything for him to get better, but there are no vets that I trust here and I am so confused on what to do. He’s obviously fighting an infection but the vet said he doesn’t seem to have a URI, he has no signs in his chest and no discharge from eyes or nose. I just don’t know what to do and it’s breaking my heart watching him in pain. please help.
He’s a 4 year old male.

    Normally I would tell you to follow the doctor’s instructions but it seems paracetamol  is acetometaphin which is very toxic to cats!!! However, without examining your cat it is impossible for me to really give you any advice.  My recommendation is to try and find a vet you trust because your cat needs treatment.

    Good luck

    Thank you for your response. I know he needs treatment, I am very scared for him, but as I said there are no reliable vets here. Is there something over the counter that could bring down his fever?

  3. Dawn Ferara, DVM

    No there really isn’t.

    Diarrhea is the body’s way of removing toxins.  One or two bouts of diarrhea is not anything to worry about or to try to remedy – I think recovery.  Fasting is always my first reaction to diarrhea – you want the gut to clear and rest (12 hours per Dr. Krista’s recommendation).  I encourage fluid intake (offer lots of fresh water, give ice cubes if he/she likes to lick them, I will even add a little broth to the water if I don’t think they are drinking enough).

    Probiotics are always good to aid recovery.
