Patient Of the Discussion:
2 year old rescue dog, Male (Beagle+Pug)+Norwegian Elkhound ~25lbs
Day 1:Our dog started having milky mucus over soft stools for 2 days, one poop each day, they would be very soft and have an odd milky white film/slime/mucus on them.
Although he is an inside dog and carefully watched we assumed he had just gotten into something, and didnt worry too much about it. Although he enjoys eating almost anything and everything he is lucky enough to find lol
Day 3:
This then resulted in rapid very very wet diarrhea for 24 hours, were he would have a few accidents in the house as the onset seemed sudden, and also he would have to urinate very frequently.
Day 4:
We fasted the dog providing only ice cubes and water for 24 hours and this stopped the diarrhea.
Day 5-6:
We switched the pup to boiled chicken and white rice, in a 1:4 ratio and there were no longer any accidents, but he still had two very wet bright yellow stools for two days. We added ~teaspoon of Pepto Bismo and about a table spoon of canned pumpkin. Called the Vet and informed us to see what happens in a few days as there are no signs of pain or blood in the stool and continue with the rice/chicken combo and just make sure he gets plenty of water.
Day 7 (Today):
The pup is back to where we started now with two days of the normal shaped stools, with the white mucus and soft in nature. Should we continue with this path of 1/3-1/2cup of the (chicken, rice, pumpkin, pepto combo) twice a day, feedings 8 hours apart (morning and afternoon)? Other than the issue with his droppings, he is still very energetic, playful, and active on our daily walks. He does not seem to be in any pain or acting lethargic. He seems very happy aside from the poop issue.
Just curious if others have any input or personal experiences they wouldn't mind sharing as well as suggestions.
He is mainly kept inside except for our daily walks (he is usually allowed to play outside but we have a tree that has been dropping berries that make him sick, so he hasnt been allowed out on his own for the past few months), a few days before this happened he snapped up a chicken/bird bone from a grassy yard while on a walk. I immediately pulled it from his mouth before he could chew or swallow it. This is the only thing i can think of that was out of the ordinary.
Sorry for the long intro! Thank you for the help!
