Pets/Dr. Bernhard Pukay: Call the vet if diarrhea continues for more than 24 hours

[guest]

Question: From time to time, our springer spaniel gets bouts of diarrhea. These episodes only occur every few months and only last for a day or two. Is this anything to be concerned about? (She appears healthy and happy otherwise.) Is there anything we should and should not do when this happens? Answer: Diarrhea is one of the most frequent complaints heard by veterinarians. In fact, in one study, gastrointestinal problems ranked second only to skin problems as the main reason for consulting a veterinarian.
