But if your dog can\u2019t get out the door in time to relieve herself, you might have a dog diarrhea emergency on your hands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure what to do? The team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/\">Bowman Veterinary Hospital<\/a> is here to help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Sudden Dog Diarrhea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a myriad of reasons your dog might be experiencing intestinal distress. Here\u2019s a sampling of the causes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/harmful-bbq-foods-you-shouldnt-feed-to-your-pet\/\">Dietary indiscretions<\/a>, such as eating half of your favorite chocolate bar, enjoying a trash-can feast, or jumping up to gulp down some table scraps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sudden change in diet\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Newly-developed intolerance to an ingredient in their food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stress and\/or excitement from travel, visitors, and schedule changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intestinal parasites\u2014a particularly prominent reason for diarrhea in puppies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Viral or bacterial gastroenteritis\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when do you actually call the vet for diarrhea in dogs?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Know When Acute Diarrhea in Your Dog is an Emergency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Call your vet right away for any of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/top-10-signs-your-dog-may-be-sick-and-what-you-can-do\/\">the following reasons<\/a>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stool is red or black and tarry, a signal that blood might be in the stool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeated watery diarrhea, especially if it lasts longer than one episode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vomiting joins in on the diarrhea drama<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weakness, fever, belly pain, or lethargy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signs of dehydration, like sunken eyes and reduced urination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you should always call your vet regarding dog diarrhea if your pet is a puppy, a senior dog, or a pooch with a chronic condition. These pets can deteriorate more quickly when their bodies are in distress, so it\u2019s always better to bring them in promptly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Care and Treatment for Dog Diarrhea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a mild case of diarrhea in an otherwise healthy pup, your veterinarian might recommend short-term, supportive care, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/quenching-the-thirst-understanding-the-vital-importance-of-pet-hydration\/\">extra hydration<\/a> and a diet that\u2019s easy to digest, along with close monitoring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if symptoms continue even after this type of care, your clinic may decide to check for parasites, dietary issues, dehydration, and more serious diseases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you decide to take your pet to an urgent or emergency care appointment for diarrhea, be prepared with the following information:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How long the diarrhea has been happening, and how frequent it is<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether you\u2019ve noticed blood, vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite along with the runny stool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any recent food or treat changes, or exposure to potentially harmful food and\/or substances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your dog\u2019s age, weight, and current medications\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When your pet\u2019s gut is acting up, trust <em>your <\/em>gut for seeking care. It\u2019s always better to be safe than sorry.
