Diarrhea
Behavior
Stinky breath

She’s had diarrhea for a little over 24 hours… it’s light brown possibly a little blood I’m not 100 percent on that. She’s usually up and about and barks a lot and she hasn’t really been doing that. She can’t control the diarrhea she’s had many accidents. It’s super watery. I did give her chicken rice and vegetables but bland no seasoning or anything last night.
In the morning she usually hops to it to go upstairs and I had to bribe her from hiding to go

I'm sorry to hear that Darlah is experiencing these issues. Given her age and the symptoms you've described, there are several potential causes, such as dietary indiscretion, infections, parasites, or even more serious gastrointestinal diseases.

Since she’s had diarrhea for over 24 hours and is showing signs of lethargy and behavioral changes, it’s important to address this promptly.

First, ensure she stays hydrated by offering her small amounts of water frequently. Change the water frequently, and place the water in several places.

Next, continue with the bland diet of boiled chicken and rice. Feed her small, frequent meals instead of one or two large ones to help her digestive system recover.

But given her symptoms, it’s crucial to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. These symptoms can indicate a more serious underlying condition that needs professional attention. A veterinarian can perform necessary tests to determine the exact cause and provide appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
