I think she may have gotten into to something. She shows no discomfort but it has been two weeks. should I wait for it to pass or should I take her to the vet?

Oh my goodness, get her to the vet ASAP. You should've taken her to the vet the second day if it wasn't gone by then. Diarrhea is very dangerous in dogs, moreso than constant vomitting. Do NOT wait for it to pass, and please do not try to treat it on your own, it could be something serious, and treating it at home could be dangerous.

2 weeks is too long for diarriha. She needs to see a vet now. Who knows what she got into?? Even though she shows no discomfort, there is something serious going on. It may not even be something she ate. It could be an intestinal virus, or even a blockage. (yes, they can have diarriha when they have a blockage in their intestines.) Time for a vet. Not to mention she is probably severly dehydrated by now.

Take the dog to the vet. 2 weeks is too long to have diarrehea. It can and will cause dehydration. It could be worms as worms will cause the poops and it could be something more serious.
Before you take it to the vet, have u changed the food in the last 2 weeks. Some dog foods will cause the diarreah because it does not agree with them especially the cheap store brands and my neighbors pit bull did this from science diet.

I think you should take her to the vet ASAP. Well, she could have gotten diarrihha if she had something like milk or ice cream, because dogs are lactosintolerent and so she could have gotten into something with milk in it. When they eat something with milk in it, or just plain milk, it usually gives them diarriha for a little while. But you really need to get her to the vet NOW!!!! She could get dehidrated so you need to get her there like right this moment! Well, I hope your dog gets better, soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should take your dog to the vet and if you are feeding your dog table food or changing your dog's food around often then that could be the cause. You need to get your dog on a consistant high quality, low residue food and keep it on that same food. Good Luck

Definately take it to the vet - long overdue. Also, I would not give Pepto Bismol ever - it has aspirin in it and my vet is highly against it. My vet recommends 1 tsp Kaopectate but take it to the vet first before you give anything. Good Luck!

Take her vets she might get hydrated, also if you changed her food type or the company you use for food may have changed some ingredients that may be cause of it

Yes. Even if it is not serious, the vet can give you something to control the diarrhea. At least make the dog more comfortable.
