Will my Chihuahua die2007-11-25 2:56:36

My baby Chihuahua (10 weeks old) got diarrhea because my deedeedee brothers over fed her. My question is that what should I do because the appointment with the Vet isn't until two days. My mom says that dogs with diarrhea die really fast. Is that true, will she die?

Answers:

At our humane society clinic we see this all the time. no she will not die.

what we do is give her water. It will flush out the bad stuff . Just put out her food for an hour 3 times a day so she won't eat alot, her stomach wil settle down, also watch her stool. I don't want to scare you but if her poop is a little runny take a sample to the vets, they can make sure she is alright. If they gave her human food tha can upset her balance and give her dog food only.

I have a greyhound and I have to watch what she eats. if she gts something wrong she gets the same -- it is common so don't worry about it.

I just don't give her food for 7 hours so their tummies can settle down.

what your mom said --it's only true if the dog has been sick for a very long time !! So till you take her too the vets just control her feeding .. absolutely no human food .. and I'm sure she'll be alright.

Over eating upset her system. Her tummy will be upset so soother her by rubbing it soft and give her lotsa love and tlk to her gently. She needs some comfort. If she gets nervous at all just put 2 fingers on her earsand 2 in back and massage them . That is a soothing calm down massage for animals. Makes them feel comforted.
