Hi! I'd say you were a pretty good dog owner,,,you are concerned about your dogs health!!
Okay,,so,,,is this the first time that your dog had diarrhea? How long have you had your dog? Did you just change his food to something he hasn't had before? Has he just had anything different then usual..such as food, medications, vaccinations or flea or heartworm preventatives? Has he been vaccinated against Parvo? And if so, how long ago? How is he acting otherwise and is he eating and drinking?
Diarrhea could make him dehydrate..so you must make sure he has liquids. When I gave my dog a raw piece of meat this happened to her... but I was pretty sure she was not sick...and the bone was the only thing that was changed. But if you have a new puppy,,,you must worry about illness,,especially parvo...its a nasty disease. But there are other illnesses that could cause it too. There is so much to take into consideration. I hope its a one time thing.
