Hello there,
I'm sorry to hear about the trouble your furry friend is experiencing. Persistent diarrhea in dogs can be due to various reasons, from dietary indiscretion, such as eating something unusual, to more serious underlying conditions like infections or allergies.
While at home, ensure your dog stays well-hydrated, as diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration. Offer small amounts of water frequently. You might also consider switching to a bland diet temporarily—plain cooked chicken and rice, in small portions, is often gentle on the stomach.
However, it’s important to keep an eye on a few things; notice if there’s blood in the stool, if your dog seems unusually lethargic, refuses to eat, or is vomiting. These are signs that the issue might be more serious and would require veterinary attention.
Persistent diarrhea lasting more than a couple of days requires further investigation to determine the underlying cause. I recommend setting up a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. They can provide a more tailored approach to get your pup feeling better soon.
Take care, and I hope your dog feels better soon!
