Diarrhea for 3 days - YorkieTalk.com Forums

mom_to_obi · 11-25-2008, 08:12 AM

I'm wondering if I should be concerned that my 7 month old Yorkie has had diahrrhea for 3 days now. He seems to be acting normal except for the runny stool a couple times a day. My biggest concern is that I am going out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday and won't be home to watch him. I thought it might be the new treats I started giving him this weekend, so I stopped yesterday. Is it possible this has caused the problem?

Yes, that is possible, but three days of diarrhea, especially in a pup, warrants a trip to the vet. I hope your pup is okay.

it might be the treats. and i agree with the above post about seeing your vet.

also, are you packing already? they always seem to know when you are leaving....

I would go to the vets too. Plus it will give you peace of mind and you can enjoy your trip.

sometimes little dogs can't eat certain treats, or it upsets their tummies. a little bit of canned pumpkin will help. I know my 3 1/2 year old biewer has had diarrhea the last 2 days, so, I've been giving him a 1/2 a childs peptobismol in a pill pocket, and that helps him a lot..

Please don't wait and take your baby to the vet...three days is a long time trust me. I only waited 1 day and took Izzy to the vet the next morning and she had a temp of 104..not good. I would rather be safe than sorry especially now around Thanksgiving when the vets are not around.

Oh and Izzy had soft stools and not runny and it was still bad.

Poor punkin'!! I would have to agree about the vet visit. I waited ONE day and ended up with two days/nights in the hospital and a large bill.... they can go downhill fast. I give pepto but I wouldn't without having a vet look at him first. Good luck!
