Puppy With Diarrhea

When giving Pepto Bismol for diarrhea in puppies do you give a dose each time they have diarrhea? The bottle says for humans to give a dose at onset and a dose each time you have diarrhea after that. I'm just checking. Thanks.

I would first make a vet appt, and then start feeding it canned pumpkin, which helps with both constipation and diarrhea problems.

Diarrhea is a symptom of Parvo so be careful. I would take it to the vet to have it tested and, if needed, treated. The longer you wait, the harder it is to treat. It can also be worms, which needs to be tested for and treated. You can often do more harm than good home treating an animal without knowing what you are doing.

I recently, 1/25/08, adopted another poodle which just happened to be the brother of the one I own. Max came from an elderly woman who couldn't handle the wants and needs of a puppy. Both are approx 9 months old, my problem is Max, the one I just adopted, has a bout of diarrhea and a frequent need to urinate.


My puppy is now 3 months old, and for the last 3-4 days he has had loose stools and I am getting worried about him.


I have 2 mixed breed puppies; they are 3 months old. One has diarrhea and the other doesn't. They do not have worms and they are playful. They both eat and drink just fine.
