old english bull dog has loose bowels; canine pepto bismol doages;

Question
My Old Eng Bully is 2, she is in her 2nd heat. she has started to have very loose bowels. We keep here in the house and she seems to be having accidents, she never has had them before, they are very very loose and she seems to not be able to hold it like she has before. is this a symptom of being in heat?

Answer

MOST vets refer to them:
Here is a chart with the Pepto Bismol dosages.
also Immodium is an option too.
