I recently adopted my first puppy, a feisty male Boston terrier. He is 12 weeks old now and this morning when I took him out for his usual 6:00 am elimination, it came out as diarrhea. I looked in a couple of dog books I have and they didn't really give me a clear indication of what to do. About half an hour later, puppy had an accident on the kitchen floor (I should have known he wanted to go out but didn't catch the signals) which was also diarrhea. I have been looking at differnet website for an answer as to what I should do and have found different opinions. Some say to have the puppy fast from food and water for 12 hours. Others say to take him to the vet immediately. Our vet doesn't open for a few more hours and I'm wondering what I should do between now and when I ask the vet what to do. One thing I have found is that I must do something about this before he becomes dehydrated. You're looking at one worried mama! Oh, and he is just as energetic as usual.
