Once a month after being spayed my miniature Dachshund gets diarrhea. I was wondering why?

See your Vet.
As with humans, intestinal bacteria can become imbalanced (e.g. using antibiotics) causing diarrhoea or constipation. You can try giving the pup 1/2 teaspoon of plain unpasturised unsweetened yogurt daily. You can also give your dog acidophilus pills. The live acidophilus in the yogurt keeps the good bacteria in your dog's intestines in balance - dogs love this treat.Daily yogurt dose:
1/2 tablespoon - small sized dog
1 tablespoon - medium sized dog
2 tablespoon - large sized dog
Choosing a good yogurt: unpasturised unsweetened yogurt with live active cultures and no added fruit or sugar.
Could be many reasons. Your vet can examine your dog, provide a possible answer and recommend medical treatment, if needed.
