My Dog Got Diarrhea After Probiotics — Is the Probiotic Bad?
Probiotics relieve diarrhea slowly, so if a dog gets loose stools after them, check the diet first, then rule out an active gut disease like parvovirus. The probiotic itself may be the wrong strain, counterfeit, or clashing with antibiotics taken too close together. Give probiotics with warm water and keep them 1–2 hours from other meds.
Dog has watery diarrhea, vomiting, low spirits, dry nose, dehydration, and refuses food
Based on the symptoms, the preliminary diagnosis is acute gastroenteritis or an infectious disease. If unvaccinated, suspect parvovirus, coronavirus, or distemper, which are life-threatening and need hospitalization.
My new dog arrived today, vomited three times after sugar water, and will not eat kibble; what is wrong?
A new dog vomiting and not eating may be a sick puppy from a market (distemper, parvo, corona) or parasites, or stress-induced acute gastritis. Fast half a day; if no more vomiting, give gut meds and probiotics, and see a vet if it worsens.
My dog has not wanted to eat, is low in spirits, stays in its bed, and will not go out; what is wrong?
Not eating with low energy likely means illness; see a vet to avoid misdiagnosis. Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, fever (parvo/corona if unvaccinated), or respiratory signs (kennel cough, distemper). If no symptoms, heat or cold may be the cause.
My Dog Has a Dry Nose, Low Energy and Poor Appetite but No Fever – Is It a Cold?
These signs need a vet check because many diseases start this way; consider distemper, parvo or corona, or organ disease. A true cold usually causes a wet nose, not dry, and dehydration itself dries the nose.
How Long Is a Dog’s Stool Sample Valid for Testing?
A fecal test gives results in about half an hour, and the sample stays valid for about 2 hours. It checks for parasites and gut health and supports tests for distemper, parvovirus and corona.
Teddy Dog Vomited Blood Today and Refuses Food and Water Since Coming Home
Not eating, drinking, and vomiting blood may be from a foreign object scarring the gut or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, or--if unvaccinated--infectious diseases like parvovirus or coronavirus. Get a full checkup; if unable to visit, withhold food and water, give pet broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory, probiotics, and vitamins.
My dog became suddenly lethargic the second day home and vomited undigested food; it couldn’t stand when put down but could after a while
Vomiting and hind-leg weakness suggest gastroenteritis or an infectious disease. Weakness may be dehydration; fast, then use acid inhibitors and probiotics, and rule out distemper or parvo if unvaccinated.
Dog vomited yellow fluid and had diarrhea on day one, then foamed at the mouth on day two with no diarrhea but low energy, no eating, and large body movements when vomiting – what to do?
Foaming at the mouth, loss of appetite, and lethargy have many causes, usually gastroenteritis. With mild cases the dog stays fairly alert; fast it for a day and give probiotics while monitoring.
Dog first retched all day, then kept whining, won’t eat; morning found clear mucus at mouth and diarrhea stains at the anus.
The dog has vomiting and diarrhea. For a puppy, rule out distemper/parvo/corona at a hospital - these threaten life. An adult may have acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, blockage, or poisoning - fast, give probiotics, cimetidine, bismuth; if no better, see a vet.
