What's wrong with a dog suddenly having diarrhea? It may be because the dog eats unsuitable food, such as eating raw or eating too much food, or it may be because of diarrhea caused by some virus. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in a timely manner so that diagnosis is carried out in time.
1. Improper diet
If the owner suddenly changes food for the dog or feeds spoiled food, it will stimulate the dog's gastrointestinal tract, causing sudden diarrhea to the dog. Therefore, it is recommended that owners use the 7-day food exchange method when changing the food for their dogs. First, add a small amount of new dog food to the old dog food, and then gradually increase the amount of new dog food after the dog adapts, and finally completely replace it with new dog food. In addition, when feeding dogs, you should also pay attention to choosing foods within the shelf life, avoid feeding dogs with spoiled food, do a good job in dietary hygiene, and ensure the health of the dogs.
2. Cold on the abdomen
If the owner does not blow dry in time after bathing the dog, or lets the dog lie on the cold floor for a long time, it will cause the dog's abdomen to catch a cold, causing discomfort symptoms such as diarrhea, sneezing, runny nose, poor spirits, and loss of appetite. Therefore, the owner must be careful not to let the dog lie on the cold floor for a long time. And after bathing the dog, you must dry your hair in time. At the same time, in daily life, dogs should also be provided with a warm and comfortable living environment, avoiding it being in a cold and humid environment for a long time, and preventing possible health problems.
3. Parasite infection
If the owner does not deworm the dog regularly, after the dog is infected with in vivo parasites such as roundworms, tapeworms, coccidiosis, a large number of parasites stimulate the intestines, which will cause the dog to have diarrhea, and sometimes even find insects in excrement. Therefore, it is recommended that the owners must regularly deworm their dogs to prevent and control the occurrence of parasitic infections.
4. Viral infection
If the dog is still young and has not been vaccinated, and suddenly has diarrhea, you still need to consider whether there is any virus infection, such as canine parvovirus, canine coronavirus, etc. This viral infection is very dangerous for dogs, so it is recommended that the owners go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time if they find that the dog has severe diarrhea and is accompanied by adverse symptoms such as vomiting, body temperature rise, and mental depression to avoid delaying the condition.
