If you are a guardian who lives with most dogs,
I check the dog’s condition by looking at the dog’s poop.
Dog diarrhea may be more important than you think.
Check it carefully!
#Dog diarrhea can occur for minor reasons.
Stool that is excessively watery
Sometimes, I end up having to defecate more often than usual.
It may be temporary or long-term.
Because it is divided into large intestine diarrhea and small intestine diarrhea
#Check the color of your dog’s diarrhea
Taking a picture will help you when you go to the hospital.
Please note that you can prevent your dog from getting a serious illness!
#Dog snow fever cause
Puppies under 1 year old or older dogs
Because the immune system is weak, a small infection can turn into a major infection.
It can be dangerous and in severe cases, dehydration.
It’s better to go to the hospital because it could come.
Let’s take a closer look at the cause!
✔️ Reasons related to the dog’s age
01. Puppies under 1 year old
In the case of puppies, they grow up in poor environments.
As the environment suddenly changes, parvovirus enteritis,
Coronavirus enteritis, Giardia, Trichomonas, etc.
Enteritis caused by parasites can also be the cause.
If your puppy shows signs of diarrhea
It’s better to go to the hospital right away.
02. Reasons for puppy diarrhea over 1 year old
Dietary enteritis is mostly caused by food.
There are many cases where it is the cause.
When oily or in poor condition
Colitis may be caused by food that is difficult to digest.
03. Causes of diarrhea in older dogs
In the case of older dogs, tumors, pancreatitis, liver disease, etc.
It may be caused by a serious illness.
I really need to go to the hospital.
✔️Causes according to the color of dog poop
01. Red bloody #dog diarrhea blood
If accompanied by diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis
That might be the reason.
02. #Puppy yellow diarrhea
Yellow, brown, loose stools
Yellow color is often a symptom of indigestion.
If the diarrhea is yellow and brown, it will take a while.
It might be okay, but it’s dark brown or
Dark black poop is due to bleeding in the small intestine.
It can be dangerous, so it is best to visit a hospital.
03. Foamy stool
Bubbles can be a serious infection.
It’s better to visit the hospital.
04. #Dog mucus diarrhea
If your dog’s poop smells like mucus
#Cause of dietary problems such as indigestion and diarrhea in dogs
You may also experience diarrhea with mucus in it.
✔️ Other reasons
01. Diarrhea due to overeating
If there is too much food in the intestines, the food
It absorbs moisture.
Due to this moisture, it cannot harden.
I get diarrhea.
If you keep giving food to your dog because he eats it well,
Dogs cannot control how much they eat on their own.
You can eat the entire amount given to you.
Even if you give them too many snacks, they can cause watery poop.
It is important to feed your dog the right amount of food.
When feeding food after giving a snack, adjust the amount of the snack
Also, remember to calculate carefully and give less feed!
02. The cause of all diseases
The cause of all diseases such as intestinal inflammation and liver
Because it may appear as diarrhea and vomiting.
Watch closely for a few days, as drugs may be the cause.
What medications should your dog take in preparation for going to the hospital?
Please check in advance whether you are eating.
In some cases, for reasons of collectibility,
You may need to stop taking the drug and take gastrointestinal protectants.
Be sure to check with your vet!
03. When you eat the wrong food
While changing the food, my dog gets sudden diarrhea.
When changing feed, mix it with the feed you were previously feeding.
Mix for about a week
It is better to make changes gradually.
Intolerance may cause malabsorption.
Check for other reactions besides diarrhea, such as rash or watery eyes.
Dogs often have allergies when fed certain foods.
It may cause a rejection reaction.
In Korea, allergy testing is not done often.
A friend who lives in Australia says that in Australia,
It is said that testing is almost mandatory when revaccination is performed.
Our Annku and Hinggu also recently had an allergy test done.
From then on, be careful when choosing feed.
After adjusting my blood pressure well, my watery poop came back to normal.
If such food allergy occurs, stop feeding immediately.
When changing food, try one type at a time.
04. How to store feed
If the feed storage method is not appropriate,
As the contact time with oxygen increases, rancidity progresses.
There are cases where it is the cause.
Seal the feed well and use self-feeding instead.
It is better to restrict feeding.
In particular, there are many feeds containing omega-3.
When feed containing omega-3 comes in contact with air,
Since it often goes rancid, store it in the refrigerator or
It is best to feed the opened feed on the same day.
04. Cause caused by parasites
05. Stress, environmental reasons
Sudden changes in the environment can cause stress to the dog.
You may have diarrhea.
In times like this, if you take it easy,
This is because it naturally improves over time.
You don’t have to worry too much.
In addition, like Hingu, from birth
This is because the dog is born with a weak intestine.
I also do watery poop~
In this case, feeding it as a prescription diet is also recommended.
It’s important.
Should I go to the hospital right away?
In the case of healthy dogs, other than diarrhea,
If you are in good condition, skip one meal.
It’s okay if your bowel movements return to normal.
Repeated watery poop for more than 24 hours
If your dog is not feeling well, take your dog to the hospital!
In particular, symptoms of lack of energy or vomiting other than watery poop,
Changes in gum color or frequent diarrhea
If you have diarrhea, it is best to visit the hospital.
It might be a little safer.
