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.
Thank you. I stopped feeding her for 24 hours and she seems to be a little more active and hasn’t had an accident for 24 hours either so there is hope for her.
It's encouraging to hear that she's becoming more active and hasn't had any accidents in the past 24 hours.
Now that she's on the mend, you can start to gradually reintroduce a bland diet consisting of boiled chicken and rice. Offer this in small, frequent meals and keep a close eye on her for any recurrence of diarrhea or other symptoms.
And make sure she stays well-hydrated by providing access to fresh water at all times. If her condition continues to improve, you can slowly transition her back to her regular diet over the next few days.
