What should I do if my Norfolk Terrier has diarrhea? Novice poop collectors often ask when encountering this situation, what causes diarrhea in dogs? Let’s learn about the solution to Norfolk Terrier’s diarrhea.

Solutions to Norfolk Terrier diarrhea:

1. Dog diarrhea caused by disease

1. Cold. If the dog catches a cold or catches a cold, it will cause diarrhea. Especially when the weather gets cold, pay attention to maintaining room temperature to keep the puppy warm.

2. Parvovirus. If a dog gets parvovirus, it will also have symptoms of diarrhea: diarrhea in the early stage, accompanied by vomiting. Loss of appetite and energy, vomiting of the gastric mucosa in the mid-term, and watery excretion. In the later stage, the vomitus becomes more viscous, the excrement has a foul smell, and irregular urinary and fecal incontinence occurs.

3. Enteritis. If dog enteritis attacks, it will also be accompanied by fever, diarrhea, and in severe cases, bleeding.

4. Dog plague. The most dangerous dog diseases. If a dog gets canine distemper, it will have fever, diarrhea, and severe depression. And diarrhea and fever occurred repeatedly in the early stage.

At the same time, it should be noted that the condition usually worsens when the second cycle is repeated, and the puppy's life will be in danger at this time. So if you have diarrhea caused by canine distemper, be extremely careful!

2. Food causes diarrhea in dogs. Dogs must be careful, especially when it comes to food.

If the following conditions occur, it will cause diarrhea in dogs:

1. Food that people have eaten. Because the food that people eat is too oily, too salty or irritating food such as onions, garlic, peppers, etc., will cause diarrhea in dogs.

2. If a dog eats too much animal liver, chocolate or grapes, chicken bones, etc., it will also cause problems.

3. Food poisoning. Dogs eating something they shouldn't eat or drinking unclean water (water that is too cold) can also cause diarrhea in dogs.

4. Eat too much. Sometimes dogs eat too much and cannot digest it, causing diarrhea and vomiting. At this time, the frequency and amount of feeding should be appropriately reduced, and the dog food should be soaked as much as possible. Generally speaking, the dog will slowly recover after a few days.

3. Methods to treat dog diarrhea

Although there are many factors that cause dog diarrhea, it is generally caused by food, colds, mild enteritis, etc., so there is no need to be too nervous. You can feed your dog oxytetracycline or gentamicin (tablets or liquids are both acceptable).

But the dosage must be mastered: the dosage for dogs cannot be compared with that of humans, almost 1/4 of a tablet is enough. However, if the dog still has diarrhea or diarrhea after taking the medicine, dog owners should not delay and send it as soon as possible. The dog should go to the pet hospital for treatment to avoid delaying the puppy's condition.
