Treating a Dog with Diarrhea

If you happen to find yourself in a sticky situation with your dog, the last thing that you should do is freak out.  Your dog is probably already embarrassed, and they don’t need you going ballistic because they pooped on the carpet by accident.  There are many products that can get the poo out of the carpet.  Instead, your reaction needs to be one that is both productive and understanding.

1. Move the dog from the carpet to somewhere where they can poop safely.  You and I both know that diarrhea can be a real big pain in the butt, and chances are good that your dog probably held it as long as they could.

2. Sound friendly, reassuring, and loving.  Let the dog know, in the most sincere and reassuring voice that you can muster, that it’s okay.  Don’t yell, don’t scream, and don’t talk in a hostile or unpleasant tone.  Dogs respond based on the tone of your voice, as they can’t actually understand what you’re saying.  Screaming at your dog because you’re going to have to buy a $15 bottle of stain remover will only make things worse in the long run.

3. Clean up the mess.  With the dog somewhere safe (for both the dog and the floor), clean up the mess.  Use whatever tools that you can to do it.

4. Provide some kind of treatment for the dog.  The first time that Tim got diarrhea I took her to the veterinarian, where she was given two weeks worth of medication.  Later that evening she experienced diarrhea again, and I began treatment immediately. 

If you have medication from the veterinarian, make sure that you are giving it to your dog as per the instructions that you were given.  After all, there is a reason that you are paying the veterinarian for their services.  The medication will more than likely clear the diarrhea right up.

If the diarrhea is caused from something a bit more serious, such as tapeworms, you will require specific medication from your veterinarian.  It is unlikey that you’ll be able to tell that it’s an infection that is causing the diarrhea on your own, but your veterinarian will.  If the diarrhea lasts more than a few days, take your dog in for an assessment to make sure that there isn’t something more sinister mucking about in their system.

If you are using a natural diarrhea treatment, such as RunniPoo, be sure to be diligent and follow the instructions.  This may be slightly more cumbersome, as a natural treatment often takes a day or so longer than veterinarian prescribed medication. 

5. Watch for repeats.  Keep your eye out for a reemergence of symptoms.  If the dog gets diarrhea again, resume treatment.  If it does not clear up the diarrhea, take your dog to the veterinarian to ensure that the diarrhea isn’t the result of some other underlying cause.

Most medications and natural remedies require that you administer them a couple of times a day, and the general time frame is two or three doses before the diarrhea begins to clear up.
