It sounds like your Weimaraner puppy is experiencing persistent diarrhea, which can understandably be concerning. While you’ve been attentive to her diet, the continuation of symptoms suggests it may be time for further investigation or intervention.
- Monitor her hydration closely since diarrhea can lead to dehydration.
- Consider contacting a vet if the diarrhea persists beyond a couple of days.
- Introduce a bland diet temporarily, such as boiled chicken and rice, but consult a vet if there's no improvement.
Diarrhea in puppies can be caused by a variety of factors including dietary indiscretion, infections, or even stress. It's important to keep your puppy hydrated and watch for other signs such as lethargy, vomiting, or loss of appetite. Introducing bland foods might help settle her stomach. However, if symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by other worrisome signs, please reach out to a veterinarian for guidance.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
