    wyatt is sick!

    Sorry to post it here, but i know i'll get quicker responses than in the health section.
    anyway, Wyatt has had nasty diarrhea since yesterday morning. I haven't switched his food or anything. I have given him 3 immodiums since yesterday and they haven't seemed to help. I've hardly given him any food since yesterday morning. Should i take him to the vet, or is there anything they can even do? What could possibly be wrong with him?

    Oh poor Wyatt.  I wish I had a better answer but I don't.  At least call your vet and tell them what the symptoms are and what you've been giving him and when.  They can tell you if you should bring him in, or just wait it out.
     
    Feel better soon.

    Our dogs will occasionally get diarrehea for no reason. We give them Pepto and that helps. My Aussie was on it for a while to try to control her vomiting, but that's another story, and for her size it was 1 twice a day. I have a Shepherd mix too and if he get's it I give him 2 twice a day until it's gone, unless it went longer than a couple days, then they'd go to the vet.

    Good luck.

    Anything from parasites (worms, Giardia, etc.) to inflammatory bowel disease to spoiled/contaminated food.  If it doesn't stop fairly soon, get to the vet.  You do not want your dog to get dehydrated.

    I should've added this:
     
    2 days ago (the night before this started) his stomach was making lots of sounds. The only other weird thing he has been doing is trying to eat grass constantly, i guess because he wants to throw up.
     
    As i am typing this he's sniffing at my reese's eggs...so he must not be too terribly sick!

    I don't know what it could be.  But, I hope that cute dog feels better soon. 
    He didn't possibly get into some candy or anything else on his own did he??

    Oh no!  Wyatt, stop with the runny poopies.  I would def. keep an eye on him to make sure he's not getting dehydrated.
     
    Give him some kissies from me.
