When a dog eats something he shouldn’t have consumed, he may develop diarrhea as a way of ridding the substance from his body. If you are concerned about your dog’s health, you may rush him to the vet immediately but this isn’t always necessary in the case of diarrhea. Most vets will be happy to see your dog if he has a bout of diarrhea but are also willing to offer advice about managing your dog’s diarrhea on your own in the future. Unless your dog is exhibiting the following symptoms, you can treat the diarrhea on your own:

  • Lethargy – Listless and uninterested in normal activities including eating or drinking
  • Bloating – Appearing larger than usual in the abdominal area
  • Abdominal pain – Pulling away or wincing when pressure is applied to the abdomen
