Your dog's persistent watery diarrhea with a strong odor is concerning and could be due to various reasons such as diet, infection, or a more serious underlying issue.
- Monitor your dog's symptoms closely.
- Ensure your dog stays hydrated.
- Consider consulting a vet for further advice.
Diarrhea in dogs can result from eating something that upset their stomach, but it can also indicate infections, parasites, or diseases. If diarrhea continues for more than a day, is severe, or is accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or lethargy, it may warrant a vet visit. Keeping your dog hydrated is crucial, so provide plenty of fresh water.
