How can you tell a Teddy is having diarrhea?

For diarrhea, feed easily digestible food like boiled chicken breast and millet porridge or softened kibble. Replenish fluids and add electrolytes to help recovery, and use probiotics if needed.

How to tell if a Pomeranian puppy is sick?
A sick Pomeranian puppy usually shows lethargy, poor appetite, diarrhea, soft stools, slow reactions, weight loss, runny nose, sneezing, shedding, fever and increased eye discharge.

I have a roughly 5-month-old large black puppy that eats anything. Three days ago it came home trembling; I thought it was cold. It stopped eating and only drank water. Today it returned weak and could barely walk, with cold paws and a stiff body. My relative thinks it ate rat poison and forced salt water down its throat. Its tongue looked pale and it drooled. Will it survive the night? What illness is this?
If the puppy is normally free-roaming, the cause could be poisoning, cold weather, low blood sugar, pain or an infectious disease. Check the temperature and move it indoors to keep warm, and observe its diet, temperature, nose, stool, energy and vomiting to narrow down the cause and treat accordingly.
How long without defecating counts as constipation in a golden retriever?

What happens if a Golden Retriever is given serum?
Golden Retrievers usually have no reaction to serum, a biological product from healthy dogs' blood that inhibits viruses for distemper and parvo. Some may have allergic reactions like shock or breathing difficulty needing glucocorticoids. Some sellers inject sick dogs to look lively, so watch for symptoms.
What happens if a Golden Retriever eats scallions or onions?
Eating onions can cause poisoning symptoms such as drooling, lethargy, loss of appetite and rapid breathing, and in severe cases may be fatal. If only a small amount is eaten, monitor the dog and seek vet care if abnormal.
How do you know a Teddy with parvovirus has fully recovered?
A Teddy with parvovirus usually needs 6 to 10 days to recover. If vomiting eases, diarrhea and blood in stool fade, and spirit and appetite return to normal, it is getting better. Confirm with blood or stool tests at the vet. Because parvovirus damages the gut lining, soft stools or diarrhea may persist 1 to 2 weeks; feed light, nutritious, digestible food.
