My puppy is 12 weeks old and she is pooping liquids. I just took her to the vet to get her shots on Saturday, is that why she is sick? What can I do at home to help her feel better and get better? I'm trying to stay from the vet bill if possible.

Hi, In the May issue of Dog Fancy on pg. 61 there is a natural tip for dogs with diarrhea it says that "pureed pumpkin is an incredibly effective anti-diahrreal, and you should have a couple cans on hand just in case. Not the "PUMPKIN-PIE MIX" which has sugar and spices--you want plain pumkin. Add a teaspoon or two of fiber rich pumkin to his food or feeding it straight from the can--most dogs love it-- can soon bring the runs to a stand still. Also try on the herbal front, slippery-elm. It is a tried and true remedy for soothing the digestive tract. It is available as a tincture and aside from rare alergic reactions it is considered to be safe for use in animals." Quote from the issue of Dog Fancy listed above. Also ginger has stomach settling properties...see link below.

My pup did the same thing. She is just nervous and all of the shots are messing with her immune system... its normal. Just call the vets and tell them everything. When my puppy got that, i felt terrible because i couldnt do anything to help her, but dont worry she should be better by 2morrow. If not then call the vets again.
