DIARRHEA Watery Woes

A FEW TIPS ON WHAT TO DO IF YOUR DOG HAS DIARRHEA
Remember that if your dog ate something that made him sick Diarrhea actually is a good thing, it is a defence your dogs body uses to expel bad stuff more quickly

 Step 1. Don't feed your dog anything for 24 hours this gives the intestines time to recover.
 Step 2. Feed small amounts of bland diet every 4 hour. Cooked white rice and extra lean hamburger meat strained well. After a few days start adding your dogs regular diet back in.
 Step 3. Stop feeding any dairy products, dairy is harder for your dog to digest.
 Step 4. Keep your dog hydrated, diarrhea can deplete body fluids.
 Step 5. Walking you dog may stimulate the nervous system that keeps the guts working properly.
 Step 6. Add fiber this will help draw water out of the stool. It also helps regulates bowel movements.
 Step 7. If diarrhea continues call your dogs veterinarian.  If your dog has other symptoms like fever, vomiting,, your dog is lethargic, along with the diarrhea contact the vet before 24 hours.
