My dog had diarrhea 😨 THIS Fixed it FAST! 🙌

[@billieporter156]

I worked at a vet clinic and the #1 thing the vet recommended when someone called with a dog with digestive issues was a 24hr Fast. No food, but access to water. Reintroduce food to them with skinned boiled unseasoned chicken and white rice (not instant rice). But this can vary dog to dog depending on what works for them-just keep it bland. It worked 90% of the time. Why? Because a dog’s digestive system needs a “hard reset” in order for digestive issues to end. A fast gives it a chance to do this. Also, if the dog is younger than 12months, it may only be able to do a 12hr fast. Call your vets office before starting the fast and they will help you with the specifics over the phone and can tell you if the dog should be seen on an emergency level or not. Also, giving your dog plain Greek yogurt weekly gives it probiotics to maintain a healthy digestive system.

Omg, I’m readying this while feeding my dog chicken and broth to help him. Let me go get that 😭

[@snaykay5574]

This was the best advice - thank you. 3 days of non-stop diarrhoea, we did a 24 hour fast only giving water from boling rice and water from boiling chicken. After that we fed him small amounts of the boiled white rice and boiled chicken and slowly increased amounts over 2 days as he had no bowel movements. Then gave him half kibble, half chicken and rice and as all is well, fully back on normal diet again with no unnecessary medicine at the vets.

For an upset stomach I prepare a little bit of rice, boiled unseasoned chicken breast, pumpkin purée. I’ll mix them all and feed him this mixture instead of his usual meal. I’ll also give them lactose free kefir. Another thing that I’ll add into his foods for loose stool is egg shells. (They are baked and in powder form).

[@jessebrazil4822]

lucky had a soft stool to the point of squealing and everything just being really stuck..I put four spoonfulls of canned pumpkim from walmart in with his hard food (both my dogs eat once a day) Right after he finished eating it was a magic act and he pooped 100% solid with no crying.. I don't know how pumpkin works that fast for the digestive system, but I was impressed.. This has happened multiple times. If I go even two days without using pumpkim, everything falls apart. He's such a great dog and even climbs trees. Breed I think is Belgian Malinoise/Lab. He's 4.5 years old now. Got him at 6 weeks. Pumpkin saved his life! My friend lost his dog due to a digestion issue. I wish I had known how to help him with the pumpkin, but this is fairly new to me. My pug/chiwauwau doesn't have any problems, but enjoys the taste of pumkin in the hard food too. The hard food I have been using and had the most success with for both of my dogs is Penny Newman's Gold bag under $30 for 40 lbs. The combination of Pumkin with this food is a miracle for my dogs. Side note, pumkin seeds help with de-worming...

Great video, Rachel! Concise and straight to the point. My dog (adopted from the local shelter two weeks ago) was having loose stools for days. I originally withheld feeding for 12 hrs and fed boiled chicken breast and rice (simmered in the chicken's broth) for his bland diet, but it definitely resolved when I replaced the rice with pumpkin puree - his stools were back to being solid overnight. He's been on a steady bland diet since with solid stools for days now. Glad to confirm that I was doing something right. (On a side note, thank you so much for your content - your videos have helped me tremendously learning the ropes with the first dog of my own)!

[@bobbibartley549]

Chicken is actually high in Omega 6 which creates inflammation. A better choice is whitefish which is high in Omega 3, which is anti inflammatory. It works like a charm with digestive issues in dogs. It also provides a lot of moisture whereas chicken tends to be more dry.

[@StarEssences]

I have a small dog (chihuahua/pug mix) at age 8 years, yet she is still full of vibrancy; active, walks, playing with her toys, rides bikes with me. At age 5 I changed her diet from Science diet kibbles (1/4 cp) and half of Ceasar's Patte's until I found out about the bi-product ingredients in them (which shortens the life of a dog in the long run). So I changed her food to Whole Hearted (petco's house make that of Blue Buffalo/Royal Canin Dog food) and feel much better with this food; there is no grain, good vitamins, minerals, flax seed in the can food and the dry kibbles; 1/4 cup of salmon and Pea mix blend Whole hearted and if she is asking for more later on; 1/4 cup of probiotic beef and brown rice dry kibbles. The wet food is either chicken +Salmon or Turkey and Sweet Potato blend. I notice in her stools that they are undigested grains of rice. Her bowels are normally good, but today (06/03/22) she had a bit of diarrhea. Any suggestions on food change or additions? About a month ago since she is getting older now, I have been making home made dog food; Steamed broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and steamed brown rice which is finely chopped and then a small portion mixed in with her wet food.

[@KandyKoatedKrafts]

[@funzeevanzee]

Undigested grains of rice? That is possibly worms not rice.

[@PaperclipProphets]

I have an 8yr old chihuahua/pug mix as well! She has arthritis that prevents her from taking long hikes with me anymore, but she’s still as feisty & loving as ever. Last night, she started having bad diarrhea after I gave her a raw bone from a local farmer’s market. I feed her fresh veggies along with her dry dog food & have given her pumpkin in the past. I noticed the undigested rice years ago when she got sick & I fed it to her after a fast. Not to be too graphic, but the rice looked like undigested corn can in humans, which is why I don’t eat corn anymore. I haven’t tried brown rice, but never fed her white rice again. The pumpkin is definitely a better option! God bless you & your chug ❤ 🐕

[@caitesmith7]

What works really fast for my dogs is...I bite the tops off of my chicken leg bones. I just give them 3 or 4 pieces without the bone part that can splinter. Works like a charm. They gobble it up. After I cook chicken for myself I save the tops and freeze them.

Can you discuss how you transition your dogs back to eating their regular raw food after they have had a digestive episode?

[@billieporter156]

I’m no expert, but the vet I worked for recommended providing the bland food on a touch and go basis based on the rate they are able to digest it. Once the stools harden a bit, start mixing in a bit of it’s normal food with the bland stuff and make a gradual transition back to its normal diet. He would usually recommend doing it for about two days after the fast ends.

What do you recommend for constipation?

[@annalisacandaso-robertson9179]

Rice causes diarrhea for my dobie and gas, which makes me think it might also give him a tummy ache. He's also allergic to chicken and pork. Or has an intolerance to them. Both chicken and pork will give him awful diarrhea and hours of the stinkiest gas, which is a bummer because chicken and pork are usually the most affordable meats. I make homemade food and barley is the grain he gets the most of and I'll give him a little potato, sweet potato and/or yam. Half a green banana (has lower sugar) helps a bit if he has diarrhea. I do mix in pumpkin sometimes too, but he won't eat his food if it has enough pumpkin for him to taste it. He also gets a little hemp hearts and flax meal everyday. As for meat, I rotate beef, turkey, eggs, salmon, and he can handle chicken livers, but not muscle meat which I find interesting. That's all his dinner. He gets sardines in water as a morning "shnackie" and absolutely loves them! And he sometimes gets blueberries and yogurt and any other snacks that I find that are good for him. His previous owners only fed him dry kibble and it was so cute to see his surprise and excitement when I adopted him and switched him from dry kibble to a homemade diet with real food. Anyway, he does have a layer of mucous in his poo, so I'm trying to figure out if it's a normal amount or not and if I need to adjust something.

Ive read a lot about pumpkin helping with constipation. I give it to my dog when he is struggling. How does it work giving it do a dog who is the opposite and already having loose stools? Would it not make it worse if it helps with constipation?

[@ashleynatasha2464]

Pumpkin is actually quite effective for firming up a dog’s stool because it contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber absorbs excess water in the digestive system, which can help to firm up loose stools. On the other hand, it also helps regulate bowel movements, preventing constipation. That’s why it’s a great remedy for both diarrhea and constipation, depending on the dosage.

[@Benni3-y9]

Could you speak more about Campylobacter a known bacteria preset on a lot of uncooked chicken products such as chicken wings.

@@brs8883 my puppy finally had two consecutive negative tests after a month and a half but was still having loose stools…sometimes bloody (sorry-tmi). But we were also told to keep her isolated from my kids since one is a toddler and could be seriously affected if infected with this. I thought the tests were just inaccurate. But after the last test (antigen) I let her come out to be with the rest of the family all day and found that the loose stools went away pretty quickly. Poor thing was stressed from not being loved on all of the time. I had been relying on vet advice because I’m a first time dog owner, but soon realized that all they wanted to do was repeatedly prescribe damaging meds and do crazy expensive testing on her. On the advice of a friend, I tried Propectalin to help her get her intestinal issues back in order, allowed her out of the playpen full time, then we switched to a fresh food.
