She got into some raw meat that fell off the grill. I think this is the cause. I was wondering if there is anything that i should give her to help this stop or is going to the vet the only ansewer. She doesn't seem to be acting any different than normal. Thank you for any advise.

You should probably take it to the vet.Until you get their make sure you give her plenty of water so she does not become dehydrated.You can call the vet and ask if they think you need to bring her in.Sometimes they will prescribe something over the phone.You should also add a Little pedealite to her water to help hydrate her until you get her t the vet.I have a t cup poodle and I've been through the same thing the vet had to prescribe something to stop it.

There are a large number of bacteria, and worms one can get from raw meat. The worms would be in tiny eggs deposited on the meat that is extremely difficult to detect. Cooking meats eliminates a lot of these things we can't see, and would probably rather not know about.
Worms can only be eliminated with medication. If your dog is still sick by tomorrow, I would get it to a Vet clinic right away. As someone said earlier, small dogs dehydrate very fast.

A yorkie with diarrhea can be very serious very fast. they are so small, they can become dehydrated very fast!
Call a vet and get the dog seen ASAP! The weekend is soon here and you need to have that dog seen!
In the meantime, with hold all food for 24 hours to rest the gut. By this time, you should have visited the vet for further assistance.

Animals don't eat cooked meat in the wild, they eat it raw, so i don't think raw meat is the problem. It might have been spices in the meat if you had it seasoned. Dogs eat grass to calm their stomach if they feel sick, if he/she is not eating grass it's probably not their stomach. Diarrhea can happen if an animal has a tapeworm, or worms. You might call and ask your vet, or someone at the vet office if there's anything you can do for them without having to bring them in, usually they'll give you an answer. Good luck!

The answer is obvious........Call your vet and tell them what happened.
Kaeopectate is prescribed for diarrhea in dogs but your vet needs to give the right dosage for your Yorkie.
Make sure your dog has plenty of water as many here have stated .
If she appears to be acting normal to you and you see no other symptoms like lethargy, vomiting or not eating she is probably not seriously ill.

My vet always recommended Kaopectate for a dog's diarrhea. She should get it twice a day, but if it's not cleared up after 2 days, best to take her to the vet. You also need to make sure she's drinking a lot so she doesn't get dehydrated.

You should probably take the dog to the vet, because of the dogs small size it can dehydrate very quickly.
