“Diarrhea is one of the most frequent clinical signs,” reveals Dr. Jan Suchodolski, associate professor and associate director for microbiome sciences of the Gastrointestinal Laboratory at Texas A&M University, in College Station, Texas. “Abnormal stool may also be the first symptom of a more systemic disease process, such as kidney, liver, and some endocrine disorders.”
Diarrhea in pets can be caused by a number of things, including:
- Food intolerance, an allergic reaction or stress
- Ingestion of spoiled food or garbage, like: plastic bags, socks, etc.
- Bacterial infections or internal parasites
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Kidney or liver disease
- Colitis or gastroenteritis
Although in some cases dog diarrhoea is unavoidable, there are some things which can reduce the risk:
- Make sure your four-legged friend is free of parasites
- Keep spoiled food out of reach!
- Ensure your pet doesn’t eat plants or faeces while walking
- Minimize stress to his environment
- Provide your pet with a balanced diet and nutritional digestive supplement!
- After the specific anti-diarrhea treatment don't forget to continuer on a daily basis with dog probiotics (to read more in this article).
