Do NOT give her salt water like one person suggested. Try giving her a bit of plain white rice with a plain piece of cooked chicken breast, or you can get a can of already cooked chicken breast. Give this to her for a couple of days and then gradually start her on her regular food. If it doesn't stop, call your vet or one that is open 24 hours. Good Luck.

If she's having repeated episodes of diarrhea, you should call your vet immediately. Diarrhea can be very serious, as it causes severe dehydration. Your vet will be able assess the problem and give your dog the proper medication. Before calling your vet, try to remember whether or not you have feed her something different in the last day that might have caused the diarrhea. Did she accidently eat something to cause this?
For the time being, can you put her outside to reduce the amount of clean-up for you inside? Make sure to put water outside with her.
I hope everything works out.

Just had to ask my daughter this, she was a vet tech, you can actually give your dog immodium. If this does not stop in TWO days get your dog to a vet. She can dehydrate really quickly. For the size of your dog a quarter of a teaspoon. LOTS of water.

Most diarrhea medication for adults work on dogs. Simply adjust dosage for weight of dog.

Rice is a good binder for the big "D"; also, go to the pet shop and buy some doggie diapers until she goes to the vet.

Have you changed her food or given her any new treats? A change in diet in anyway can casue intestinal upset...My dog just had puppies and we had to change her diet due to the pregnancy and holy moly she stinks up my house daily it is really un-pleasant and she is not quiet when she does it...And her bowels changed drastically, had to mix adult food with her puppy food casue she had diarhea so bad with just puppy food....Good Luck!

Good Luck!

It is the food. What kind of food do you use? The best food for dogs is "GO!"
