chihuahua with diarrhea for 3 days

19 16:37:29

Question
My 1 and 1/2 yr old chihuahua has been having about 4-5 bowel movements a day for the past 3 days. She doesn't seem sick other than this (maybe a LITTLE lazier). We haven't changed her food or anything. Earlier it looked like jelly/mucous, kind or orangish and brown. Other than that her other stools have been lighter brown and much softer lately. It's Sunday so the vet will not be open until tomorrow. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? (She is fed a mix of Nature's Recipe Farm Stand Selects Chicken Recipe w green beans & sweet potatoes & brown rice, human grade AND we mix that with HALO chicken recipe dry food)

Answer
Erin, sounds like a little virus.... I would feed some white rice and chicken.  YOU can also add some canned pure pumpkin to her diet - JUST 1- 1 1/2 teaspoons per day to add fiber to the stool ..


sorry, I was away and did not see your Question...
