Practically all owners of dogs had to face a diarrhea problem at their favourites. It is necessary to show consideration for this disease state extremely. Unfortunately, very often the diarrhea at a puppy is one of symptoms of serious infectious diseases. Such type of diarrhea can lead to fast dehydration and death of a puppy.
At the first symptoms of a diarrhea it is necessary to stop feeding of the kid. At the same time surely provide a puppy with clear drinking water. Take the kid temperature. It is necessary to know that the normal body temperature of a puppy can fluctuate from 38.2 to 39 degrees, depending on his breed. If the body temperature of the kid is more or less than these values is a reason for the immediate address to the veterinarian. Attentively observe a puppy. If the kid refuses to play, weakens and all the time tries to lie down, then it is better not to risk and bring it to veterinary clinic. One more reason for the address to experts is appearance of vomiting and availability of blood in stool. In the absence of vomiting and the increased temperature it is possible to try to cope with diarrhea independently. You do not feed the kid within a day. For prevention of dehydration of an organism it is recommended to give to puppies solution of a regidron. The daily amount of solution is defined proceeding from weight and age of a puppy. For prevention of absorption of toxins it is necessary to give to the kid adsorbents. As adsorbent it is possible to use polifepan or activated carbon. Next day give to a puppy rice broth or other "national" means are infusions and broths of a sage, a St. John's wort, garnet crusts, bilberry fruits. As diarrhea medicine also the weak sweetened tea will approach. Within several days after a diarrhea it is necessary to take an animal on the sparing diet. Give to a puppy razvarenny rice, fast broths, skim cheese, boiled chicken. It is desirable to give to the kid medicines for intestinal microflora restoration. However you should not appoint them independently - microflora intestines of the person and a puppy differ therefore "human" medicines, most likely, will not suit it. Consult with the veterinarian and observe the recommendations made by him. To avoid diarrhea at puppies, it is necessary to carry out vaccination of animals in time and also to carefully choose forages and to observe the correct diet.
