my puppy lost her appetite and is shedding a lot on her belly with watery bowels and upset stomach... should i be worried?
-----Answer-----
I think it is a tough judgement call.  She could take a turn for the worse over the weekend.  Maybe the safest thing is to call the vet today.

Answer
I can't say.  I can give you a diet that may help settle her digestive system down.  

Bland recovery diet for dogs.

3 parts cooked rice, one part boiled hamburger or chicken, or cottage cheese. I think you can substitute boiled potatoes for the rice.  Once in an emergency, we bought a plain baked potato from Wendy's.  

This is meant for short time settling a dog's digestive tract.  It is not the complete and balanced they need long term.
