Diarrhea in dogs can be acute or chronic. An acute bout means that it occurs just the once and is resolved quickly. It may have been caused by eating something that is harmful, such as food poisoning.
Dogs have what I call ‘cast iron stomachs’. That is they are omnivores and can eat anything. Anything natural, that is. They can east rotting and decaying meat with impunity. They can eat a purely vegetarian diet, no problem. They can survive on a diet of earthworms in times of scarcity.
Dogs are very adaptable. To natural fluctuations and food. But not to man made problems.
Chronic diarrhea is when the condition keeps recurring, or never goes away completely. It comes about because they are constantly ingesting something that is harming their health.
And the most likely offender to this is the food you are feeding them. Processed, commercial dog food is highly toxic and nutrient poor. It doesn’t matter what the claims are on the packet, most of them are simply legal through careful wording, rather than actually truthful.
There are two things you can do to resolve diarrhea in dogs.
- the first thing is to switch the food you are feeding your dog from a commercial brand to a quality homemade one
- and the second thing to do is to purchase the homeopathic medicine Arsenicum album
This medicine is absolutely fabulous at assisting the body in expelling any toxins from the body. It may increase the purging over a short period, but you will notice that your dog is happier. Who wouldn’t be after dumping a toxic load?
It’s important to keep an eye out for dehydration with any amount of purging. A healthy dog will keep up their liquid intake. An unhealthy dog may not be able to address this themselves.
To quickly resolve diarrhea in dogs, either in the acute or chronic form, will prevent any problems that may develop because of it. But you need to assist their body in doing this, rather than in suppressing the symptoms.
