I am absolutely at my wit's end with my dogs stomach issues

Thanks for reaching out—I'm so sorry to hear your dog is having stomach troubles. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on.



Digestive issues in dogs can be caused by a variety of things, ranging from something they ate to stress or even an underlying health condition. Common culprits include dietary indiscretions (like eating something unusual from the trash), food intolerances, infections, or parasites.



For at-home care, start by withholding food for 12-24 hours to let their stomach settle, but make sure they have access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. After the fasting period, offer a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice in small, frequent meals. Transition back to regular food gradually over a few days.



Keep an eye out for warning signs that might indicate a more serious issue, including persistent vomiting or diarrhea, blood in stools, severe lethargy, or a distended abdomen. If any of these occur, or if your dog doesn't improve in a day or two, it's time to seek veterinary attention.
