There are many problems of diarrhea, and many diseases may cause dogs to have diarrhea. Therefore, before we deal with, we must find out whether the dog is simply diarrhea or the problem stimulated by other diseases.
1. What are the symptoms of diarrhea?
The manifestation of small intestinal diarrhea is that the amount of feces increases and the frequency of defecation increases slightly. There are about 3 to 5 times a day. Pets are not effortless. Dogs may also have the problem of vomiting and weight loss. It is usually accompanied by too much gas, and sometimes we can even hear the rumbling sound of gas in the stomach. If there is blood in the feces, it means that it has digested through the intestine and is black.
Because of diarrhea, dogs cannot absorb nutrients normally, so they will cause their weight to be alleviated, and the hair is dry and easy to break. There is a tiny protein in the animal called albumin. Its role is like a sponge, which can keep the normal amount of moisture in the blood vessels. When diarrhea occurs, albumin is lost with a large number of stools, and the albumin in the blood decreases, causing the water to exudes from the blood vessels and accumulate in other parts, then it will develop into leg edema, chest water and ascites.
Large -intestine diarrhea, including colon and rectal diseases, can cause pets to discharge a small amount of soft stool every day, usually more than 5 times a day, and pets are difficult to discharge. If there is blood in the feces, the color is red. There may be sticky mucus in the stool. Pets do not vomit often and do not reduce weight.

If the dog does not vomit, do not eat within 12 hours, only provide clean drinking water. Avoid dehydration due to multiple diarrhea. After 12 hours, we can try to give it some light diet and eat less meals. When the stool starts to form, it gradually returns to the normal diet.
If you have mild vomiting symptoms, let it drink a small amount of water (a few tablespoons each time) every hour, and then do not feed in the next ten hours. If vomiting stops, you can provide a certain light diet, and then slowly recover.
