She got sick last night twice and has had diarrhea. She’s never had diarrhea before I think it’s the treat she had. We will no longer be giving her treats, she has a sensitive stomach


It sounds like your young Treeing Walker Coonhound might have had a reaction to the treat, especially given her sensitive stomach. Diarrhea and vomiting can often occur when a dog consumes something that doesn't sit well with them. Since the diarrhea isn't bloody or black and the symptoms have been episodic, it's likely linked to the treat.
To help her feel better, here are a few steps you can take:
Firstly, consider giving her digestive system a rest by withholding food for about 12 to 24 hours. During this time, ensure she has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration.
After this fasting period, you can gradually reintroduce food by starting with a bland diet. Boiled chicken (without skin or bones) and plain white rice are gentle on the stomach. Offer her small amounts several times a day.
It's also important to monitor her hydration. Make sure she's drinking water, and you can check her hydration by gently lifting the skin on the back of her neck; it should spring back quickly. If it doesn't, she may be dehydrated.
Given her sensitive stomach, it's best to avoid treats and new foods for now. Stick to her regular diet to prevent further upset.
Keep an eye on her symptoms. If the diarrhea and vomiting persist or if she becomes more lethargic, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian.
Since the symptoms have only been present for a day and aren't severe, closely monitoring her condition should suffice for now. However, if you notice any worsening or additional symptoms, seeking veterinary advice would be prudent.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
