i use rice on adult dogs if they have the shits but i would leave out feeding for a day to let them settle first. not sure i'd want to do that with a pup. fish is light on the digestion too.

Chicken and rice in Small amounts. If an adult dog, no food for 24 hours then the chicken-rice.

Bit of live yoghurt is worth a try, had the same with mine after worming and westy suggested it, I tried it and it seemed to work. Some meds kill all the good gut bacteria which can mess up their digestion.

If the pup had very bad worms they could have damaged the lining of its gut, which could take some time to repair itself. Stick to boiled chicken and boiled rice for a week or so to see if things improve. Diarrhoea can also result from the inflammation, and can be self-perpetuating: in other words, once the gut has started to whoosh food through too fast, this continues. Dehydration results, which is also an ongoing problem. The more the gut is inflamed, the more the gut takes fluid from the body to try and rectify the situation. There may also be a bacterial infection.

 

If things don't clear up quickly, then see the vet and ask about a course of antibiotics, which will kill any bacteria in the gut. They will also kill the good bacteria, so a good probiotic is needed. In fact, the pup may just need a course of probiotics, which is what a lot of vets now use instead of antibiotics, as this will replenish the good bacteria needed to digest food properly, and not let it just wash straight through as diarrhoea. See the vet.

antibiotics will increase the diahorrea, if its bacterial , if its viral antibiotics have no value anyway, if infection is not present then fullers earth will stop the trots or as has been suggested arrowroot. Also you could try teacup full of live yoghurt with two teaspoons of dried mint in it .

Not always. If the gut is carrying a bacterial infection then antibiotics are used, though as I said earlier, probiotics can also stop diarrhoea providing the infection isn't too severe. It all depends on what is causing it.
