Sorry to hear of the little one's problem. You say he is well in himself, You could perhaps try adding natural yoghurt to his food, I have found this prevents them from having the runs. Do keep us posted as to how he gets on.

Hi Baxter what do you feed your dog on ? Perhaps you should think about changing the food, also persistent diarrhoea should really be investigated for things bacterial infections, so it might be an idea to take a sample to the vet.

Definately think you should go to the vet if you haven't already just to check there is nothing wrong that needs medication. Poppy was prone to colitis so had the trots quite a lot and I had to change her diet and be quite strict about no treats that would set it off.

She used to eat Chappie which helped a lot as it is quite bland and vets seem to like it. Hope he is ok.

Diarrhoea is not normal in dogs or people and should be investigated before any action is taken. Assuming that the dog is fed a quality and balanced diet, which I am sure he is. However some dogs do find and eat unsuitable material when out walking and it may be worth keeping him on a lead for a week just to check this is not the cause of the problem, many a cat poo has caused an upset in the foraging dog.
