Hugo's got explosive watery yellow diarrhea, he's had it since yesterday morning, he seems fine in himself although maybe a little more cuddly than normal like he's feeling sorry for himself. we fed him as normal yesterday but havent given him anything to eat to day yet. my other half had to get up in the night with him and he messed yesterday in the house twice and thats something he's not done for months.
I'm starting to get a bit worried about it, i know dogs do get the runs from time to time so yesterday but though it was that but as it's carried on today i'm wondering if a trip to the vets is in order.
I tend to starve mine for 24-48 hours, and then give small but often servings of fresh cooked minced chicken and cooked rice,mix equal portions of each, give that for a day and then gradually introduce his normal food mixed in with the chicken & rice over a couple of days.
If this doesn't work , then take him to the Vet, also make sure he is getting water into him.
ooh just re read you said he hasnt messed inside for months so is he about 6-7-8 months?
I would starve today see what he is like in the morning - does your vet have sat morning surgery? If yes and he is still bad overnight I would take him down
I expect he's eaten something dead or nasty , his tummy needs a rest as does his bowels a day without food and then chicken & rice should sort him out, I find it's normally a few days before they poo again
