Methods for treating diarrhea in dogs

1. Adjust the diet structure

When dogs have diarrhea, their intestines and stomach are in a relatively fragile and sensitive state. The dog’s diet structure and habits should be adjusted at this time. Feed the dog nutritious and easy-to-digest chicken porridge, or soak the dog food in goat milk and feed it, and use probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract.

2. Pay attention to keeping warm and cold

The temperature changes in the seasons, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so dogs are prone to cold and diarrhea. Pay attention to keeping your dog warm, add cushions and blankets to the kennel to keep it warm, and move the kennel to a place where the wind cannot blow. After bathing, dry it with hot air in time. Do not let the dog get exposed to the rain or let it directly Lie on the floor.

3. Regular deworming

Dogs like to sniff and lick everywhere. In the process, they will inevitably eat a large number of parasites and eggs, leading to parasitic infection. The most typical manifestation of worms is diarrhea, and in severe cases, the excrement may even be bloody. Therefore, the dog owner should regularly perform internal and external deworming treatment on the dog, and ensure that the furniture environment is dry and clean.

4. Anti-diarrhea

If the dog has severe diarrhea and is not in good mental condition, or even has a high body temperature (puppies 38-39°C, adult dogs 37.5 -38.5°C is normal), you need to seek veterinary help as soon as possible. If necessary, you need to stop diarrhea and replenish water to prevent dehydration; and you need to rule out the possibility of gastroenteritis.

5. Enhance physical fitness

You can take your dog out to bask in the sun more often to promote nutrient absorption and supplement calcium, and increase the amount of exercise appropriately to help the dog enhance its physical fitness and resistance.
