My Westie puppy choked eating and now has brown watery stool.

Poor Parker. It may be this fry has upset his stomach. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food for 8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

It is very common for puppies to have diarrhea. This can happen with intestinal parasites, infectious diseases such as parvo virus, change in diet or even stress from the change in homes. It's possible that he also picked up and ate something off the grass that upset his system. If he's normal otherwise (no vomiting, good appetite, normal activity level) you could start by giving him plain boiled chicken breast and plain white rice in a 1 to 1 ratio. You can also add a small amount of pumpkin puree as the fiber can help firm up the stools. If the diarrhea continues or he becomes ill, starts vomiting, acting lethargic, or doesn't want to eat, I would strongly recommend taking him to a veterinarian right away. They will most likely want to do a fecal exam to check for parasites, a parvo test to check for this very serious illness and may even do blood work and x-rays to look for evidence of a stomach or intestinal blockage. This is very common in puppies since they like to chew on and swallow things they shouldn't.

You are certainly welcome to try this food. As long as it meets AAFCO standards I am OK with it. Just DO NOT use the grain free option. I can't guarantee this diet change will help her conditions. I would give her 8-12 weeks on the new diet to determine if it is helping or not. If after 12 weeks, her symptoms have not improved then the diet was not likely the problem. Skin issues are very common in Westies and are usually due to underlying allergies. I would suggest you have her allergy tested if that is available in your country.

Poor Bronco. I can give you a home remedy for him to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.

As long as he is active and comfortable and able to pass stools then any mild food bloat signs should pass, a mild laxative such as cat hairball paste or liquid parafin can help. I would contact the breeder to check the brand and feeding guidelines, or transition to an alternative puppy food by mixing 25% of new food guidelines with the original diet, increasing proportion every 3-4days until change is complete. No permanent changes in joints etc would be expected after a few days of overindulgence (avoiding puppy obesity and maintaining a balanced, puppy diet with appropriate mineral and protein levels is important in the medium-long term however)

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Sadie. A new food can lead to diarrhea and loose stool. I can give you a home remedy for her to see if that helps. Withhold food for 12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she refuses to eat the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Apparently the earthworm protein is not compatible with your dog's digestion. I suggest you take him off all food for 12 hours and then feed him boiled white rice with boiled white boneless chicken in small quantities over several feeds a day. Do this for 2 days, then slowly transition back to his normal dog food over two or three days. By then the diarrhea should have stopped. Make sure he has plenty of water available at all times. Should he deteriorate or should the diarrhea get bloody, you will need to take your dog to a vet for an exam and treatment,
