My three year old pit pull is having the runs really bad, any ideas? and hey he is gentle and kind.?

Question

I know some people generally dont think this is true but the dog reflects it's owner many times and this doggy " JILLIE" is gentle and docile and loving.

Answer 1

PIts are great dogs, very upbeat and sweet. It's bad humans that make bad pit bulls.

If this is just a recent thing, give it a day or two. If it lasts longer than that, vet visit. If you see blood or mucus in the stool, vet visit.

She probably just ate something bad and it will pass. In the meantime, get some ground turkey or lean ground beef and cook it with rice so the final consistancy is about 2/3 meat and 1/3 rice and feed her this til it clears up. It's easy on the stomach and dogs like it. Be sure she has plenty of fresh, clean water.

Oh, and if you ever see bright green in a dogs stool, take them to the vet immediately, it's a sign they've gotten into rat poison.

Answer 2

First, Pit bulls are very caring and gentle animals to their owners. Incidents involving this breed can be attributed to the animals territory being invaded or threatened. Unfortunately, you also have terrible owners which only contribute to the prosecution of the breed. Though, this is a fighting breed, people need to realize that these animals will act aggressively if threatened.

As for Julie's problem, sounds like she might have gotten ahold of something that is causing some stomach trouble. I would recommend that you keep plenty of water available for her and a little dry dog food. See if she is feeling better in 24 to 36 hours, if not take her to the Vet.

Answer 3

I would check becuase it is possible that she has worms. Dpending on the type of worm, you can treat it or you may have to have it treated by the vet. If you look at the poop and their appears to small whit worms in it that is the problem. Which you can treat, if they are longer you may wnat to have you vet check it out. You dog could have gotten this from eating another animales feces that had worms, or something else that was bad. It could also be something far less medical, she may need a little more grain in her diet, or she could have eaten something outside that has not settled well in her stomach. If she is not well in a few days check about the worms and if still no improvement taske her to the vet.

Answer 4

First, stop feeding her her normal food. If she wants to eat, give her just bland, white boiled rice with a tiny bit of boiled chicken-- no treats or any other food. If she doesn't want to eat, don't encourage her to, just let her system calm down and get back to normal. If it doesn't stop today, call the vet in the morning and they can advise. The danger of diarrhea is that Jillie can get dehydrated and that can be very dangerous. Good luck!

Answer 5

My dog had a similar problem. He never showed any other signs of pain or anything like that, it was just that anytime he pooped, it was always smelly runs. We took him to the vet, they gave him meds, and he's been pooping normally ever since. Just take him to the vet, the dog might get dehydrated easily if you're not careful. Good luck!

Answer 6

If your dog has diarrhea real bad you may have a case of poisoning or parvo.Either way the animal can get dehydrated and die very quickly.I would take yor dog into the vet and have him checked out.

Answer 7

Sounds like she has a tummy ache or she ate something that disagreed with her. Did you change her food in any way?

Answer 8

Pepto Bismol. Give her a child size dose about every hour or two for about 4 hours.

Do you know the cause? If not - collect a specimen (eww, yuck I know) because you will need it for the vet .

Answer 9

the food can be up setting his tummy

Answer 10

do not feed her and take her to the vets when they open.
