QuestionHello. My miniature (almost)2yo dachshund has had diarrhea since Monday (It is now Wednesday.) He weighs just under 12 pounds. He has been acting normal, and over the last 2 days it went from being complete liquid to just loosened stool and then a "squirt" of diarhhea afterwards. I am beginning to worry as he has never had this happen before. I am wondering if I should take him straight to the vet or if there is something I can try at home? He HATES the vet, and I hate having to put him through going there. But I will absolutely do it if that is what I need to. Please help!
AnswerFeed a bland diet - chicken and rice is good for a day. You can also give a little pepto bismol. That is what I would do for mine. If it does not get better, take him to the vet or take a stool sample to have him checked for worms so that he does not have to go yet.
