Nacho has Diarrhea

[nachothebulldog]

Hello everyone! So this morning I took nacho out to potty and he took a massive dump! It was not solid but it wasn’t watery either, it was in between. Anyway, I usually leave for work and get home at 3 and he holds it in, no problem. Today I got home and found not one but TWO piles of poop in his crate with him! the first one was like ice cream serve but the second was COMPLETELY watery with no texture to it at all!

I took him outside and he went AGAIN and pooped a litle but it was very very watery, we walked about 100 yards and he squatted again, but only liquid came out.

He has a vet appointment tomorrow but I wanted to ask to see if you guys think this is normal or something I can do to help him??

There has been no changes in his diet. He’s 40lbs and eats 3 cups of Merricks puppy food daily. He’s 8 1/2 months old.

Please help us out!!!

May be time to cut back on food.... add some pure canned pumpkin to help firm up .

was there any mucus in the poo... or just watery poo

this article has a good chart in it for feeding

Could be a parasite, could be a bug, could be too much food. Lots of different “could be’s.” Since you have a vet appointment tomorrow, be sure to bring in a poop sample so they can run a fecal test and make sure they specifically test for giardia.

Any blood? Bloody can indicate hookworm. Hopefully it's nothing gnarly and just a 24 hr thing. In the meanwhile, I'd give no more food until tomorrow but offer plenty of fresh water. Tomorrow light food until vet can see him.... When we had diarrhea in the past we did rice boiled in broth and boiled chicken a few days. Canned pumpkin is good advice too. Hope he's feeling better soon!

Hi, You've been given great advice from members above, I agree bring a poop sample with you for the vet to check, don't feed him until he sees the vet, just offer water so he doesn't dehydrate. Does he have a fever? Is he acting Lethargic or out of character? Could he have eaten something you don't know about? I hope he is okay, let us know what the vet says.

[MENTION=17431]nachothebulldog[/MENTION] - Great advice given, Totally fast NO FOOD, nacho for the next 24hrs, give his digestive system time to rest, he will be totally fine, give 1TBSP with some boiled ground turkey or sirloin

We have had the poopies a couple times, thankfully it was nothing serious, Vet gave us probiotics, and couple days Ellie was back to good.

Good luck at the Vet keep us posted...

With that much soft and liquid poop going on, it's probably a smart move to visit your Vet. My guess is Giardia and a few days, a week of Metro and he'll be good to go. If this is the case don't forget to add a probiotic to his diet to help restore what he's lost.
