Advice From Dr. Lindsey: Dealing with Diarrhea

Advice From Dr. Lindsey: Dealing with Diarrhea

Dr. Lindsey • 20 February 2023

Authored by: Dr. Lindsey, DVM

It’s no fun having a sick dog and it’s no fun cleaning up after one either. Dogs can get diarrhea frequently. Diarrhea could be due to a minor problem and easily treated or could be a sign of a more serious issue. There are many causes for diarrhea. A few examples of causes are intestinal parasites, intestinal infection, dietary indiscretion, stress, or organ problems.

If your dog has diarrhea, your veterinarian may want to perform a few tests to get to the bottom of it. The first step may be to bring in your dog’s fresh fecal sample with you to the appointment. This can be examined under a microscope for things like parasites or infection. Depending on the exam, history, and clinical signs, other tests like x-rays, bloodwork, ultrasound, or endoscopy may be recommended. From there your veterinarian will create a plan depending on the underlying cause of the diarrhea. Some treatments that could be prescribed include dewormers, probiotics, anti-diarrhea medications, or a bland diet.

PetHonesty has a new product coming out called Super Pooper chews. They combine 4 types of key ingredients to support your dog’s digestive system: fiber, probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes. The chews may help support gut, digestive, and immune health. Ask your veterinarian if the PetHonesty supplements may be right for your pet.
