It depends on what type of diarrhea your dog is experiencing. There are several different types of diarrhea that can occur, each with their own set of recommendations. One of the most common cases of diarrhea is caused by eating something that contains excessive amounts of sugar or carbohydrates. This includes things like sweet fruits such as apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, melons, and dates. This is because these foods contain high levels of fructose (or glucose) which is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. The body then sends this excess glucose to the liver where it is converted into glycogen, a storage form of glucose which is stored in the liver. The problem arises when the liver becomes unable to store enough glycogen to meet the demands of the body. As a result, the glycogen is released into the blood stream, causing an increase in the amount of glucose circulating through the system. This results in increased water and electrolyte loss from the body, which is why it is important to avoid giving your dog any food containing excess sugars. Another common cause of diarrhea is due to over-consumption of fatty foods. These include anything from chicken fat to cheese. Fatty foods are more difficult to digest than other foods, especially those which are high in fiber. Over-consumption of fatty foods can cause intestinal inflammation which leads to increased fluid secretion. A third common cause of diarrhea in dogs is related to the consumption of too much protein. This is often seen in older dogs who have developed kidney problems, but it can also occur in younger dogs. Protein is extremely hard to digest and requires a lot of energy to break down, which can put undue stress on the kidneys and pancreas. If your dog has diarrhea, it’s very important to contact your vet immediately. If your dog is showing signs of weakness or lethargy, he may need fluids administered intravenously. In some cases, medications might be required to help prevent further complications.
