My bordercollie is a little over a year old. She has been getting me up in the night for the last two nights because she has diarrea. What could I do for her? Any suggestions?
the first thing to do is figure out what is causing it.
have you changed any of her food? is she on any new medication? did she get into the trash? is she completely vaccinated?
start giving her some yogurt every couple days. canned pumpkin ( not pie filling ) or pepto bismol will work but check with your vet for proper dosage & follow up
she has one more booster shot to get but were told to wait a month after her last two, i guess there are three of them to get and she had two. I've never heard of giving them yogurt but ok i can try that. Does it matter if its flavored? What does that do? Thanks!
I've been feeding her iams since we got her, I've never changed her food. Now a day or two before she got diarrhea I did give her a steak not a very big one and it was well done thats why i gave it to her. I only have flavored yogurt so i will give her that but how much do you suggest?
she is familar with table food. Can I ask what does the pumkin do for her? I am going to get some now and again how much do you suggest I give to her? Thanks for this you have been a great help.
I went out right away and bought some for her as well as plain yogurt. I did a search on it and it said that for treating constipation it softens the stool and the reason it works for diarrhea is because of the dietary fibre in it, it helps absorb water, so ya makes sense to me. Apparently its supposed to work in as little as a few hours, that is so great! Now you did say I should know what caused the diarrhea so do you think if this clears it up for now and a little later she was to get it back, then it should be looked into? If she doesn't get it back then I guess I can say something didn't agree with her? Thank you for guiding me in the right direction
yes, you may have to give her a couple doses of the pumpkin - if it stops but then comes back probably time for the vet. altho Iams isn't the best & yes it could cause problems after a time. which one are you using?
