My corgi has diarrhea, leaky stools, and pale poop. What to do?

Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Welsh Corgi | Female | unspayed

I have a corgi who is reverse sneezing this started a couple weeks ago only when she goes outside, only some of the time, now she has had diarrhea the last three days. She seems other wise fine but it seems like she has been having some bowel incontinence because she has leaky stools. Her poop is a pale brown I’m not sure what to do for her. She’s not an old dog I’d day around 1.5 to 2 years old

The reverse sneezing and the diarrhea almost certainly have nothing to do with one another, as reverse sneezing is not even a pathology unless it is happening constantly and having an effect on breathing. As far as diarrhea goes, I would say the first thing worth trying is fasting Bee for 24 hours. Then, put her on a bland diet or boiled skinless chicken and / or hamburger with rice for 2-3 days. See if this normalizes thing. You can also try and collect a fecal sample that can be submitted to your veterinarian for parasite analysis. They will provide the appropriate dewormer should that be needed. If the diarrhea continues in spite of the dietary change or it starts to get worse (or any other clinical signs develop), an exam by your vet will likely be required to get down the cause of the problem. Hope this makes sense.
