We took my Bull Terrier to the breeder nearly two weeks ago to have her studded.. She's been acting normal and excited just as before, but she's had terrible diarrhea.. The breeder used a bit of his food when my dog's ran out.. I know that can cause diarrhea but she's been on Science Diet Sensitive Stomach since she's been home and its not gotten better. Last night she rubbed her butt on the carpet, but there's no worms in her stool.. I suspected tapeworms, but she's never had fleas at our house and I'm not sure how quickly she would show symptoms of tapeworms if she caught them from the breeder's kennel.. But she didn't come home with any fleas. Also, around the inside of her anus is black stuff.. Its not feces, but its also not alive. Is it possible that its the feces of any worms she may have? Thanks

Update: I took away her food for 24 hours and gave her plenty to drink.. After the 24 hours I gave her some bland chicken and rice for her dinner and breakfast the next day.. Added some sensitive stomach food to her chicken and rice this morning and she's doing great.. The diarrhea is gone and all is well. Thanks for the answers and i'll keep my fingers crossed that its gone for good!

It is more then likely she caught a stomach virus, not worms. If she has not had her shots for Parvo or Corona, BOTH, she may be in trouble. Give her a cup of Gatorade mixed with a teaspoon of Pepto Bismal every hour until you can get her to a Vet or she will more then likely dehydrate on you and could go into shock. Use a syringe without the needle or a turkey baster to put the mixture down her throat because she probably won't drink it on her own. If you don't have either of those you can use a straw.
Most grown dogs who catch corona or parvo rarely die from the disease if they are given treatment. Keep her away from other dogs and especially puppies. A weak bleach solution will kill the virus on surfaces and in the yard areas she has been in.

Take her to the vet. They will have to look at her stool through the microscope. Also she could of picked up a venirial disease. Its best to tace her in right away. This could cause dehydration,Then fever,then fever siezures,then death of puppies
