Good morning,
My pup Ruger is experiencing his first bout of diarrhea and I want to do something to help him. This started about 24hrs ago - it is very runny and a watery yuck, no blood thank god. He is 30 weeks old and 58lbs. Last night we were up about every 2 to 2 1/2 hrs to go outside. He did have one accident at the beginning of the night, I suppose he didn't know he had to go until it was too late. I felt horrible that I didn't hear him get up right away. But I cleaned it up and watched him really closely the rest of the night so that didn't happen again.
Should I start him on that rice and chicken mixture right away or do I go to the vet right away? If I do the rice and chicken, how much? He is not a huge eatery so I don’t know if he will even eat to be honest. Should I give him pebto-bismal?
I am home with him all day and i didn't see him eat anything strange, but that doesn't mean he didn't....they are sneaky!!! He could have found something in the yard I suppose when I had my back turned. My cat gets so many mice out in the field that he cant eat them all, so sometimes I find dead treasures at the door....I suppose my dog could have found one before me, just not 100% sure.
Any help would be great, first time dog owner so I am a rookie at this!
