Never wait to long to go to the vet if youré dog has diahrea. Dogs can
be dehydrated very fast after the start of diahrea. Watch out for

dehyrdated or not. Lift up the skinn of the nek and let it go again. It
has to go down straight away. If the skin is not going right down, than
you have to go immediately to the vet. It is Urgent! This means

Important during a long period of
diahrea:
* a dog with diahrea for a long time needs enough sodium and potassium
every day. This is prevention for dehyrdation
* with a long time of period, dogs needs extra proteďn,
- you can give them one boiled egg a day, only the white of the egg
(dogs from 7 kilo)
If you give you're dog extra protein you can hold on the protein in the
bowels of your dog. If you don't do this the dog will be having soon a
short of protein and because of the short on protein, the diahrea will
not stop anymore. The bowels need protein to get the food from you're
bowels into the body.
