My dog had an enema almost 48 hours ago and has had runny stool since.

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. It’s understandable to be worried when your dog is experiencing persistent runny stools after an enema. This could be due to the enema itself, which can sometimes irritate the digestive system and cause temporary diarrhea. The recent change might also be the body's way of clearing out any remaining waste or irritation.



To help your dog at home, ensure they have access to plenty of fresh water to prevent dehydration. You might consider feeding them a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, which can be easier on their digestive system. Gradually reintroducing their regular food over a few days can also help.



Keep an eye out for any signs that might indicate a more serious issue, such as lethargy, vomiting, blood in the stool, or if the diarrhea continues beyond a few more days. These could signal something that needs more immediate veterinary attention.



If your dog's symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend scheduling a video consult with us at Dial A Vet, where we can provide tailored advice and assess whether any further intervention is necessary. Your peace of mind and your dog's health are our top priorities.
