Causes of dog diarrhea

1. Suddenly changing the dog’s food or eating a large amount of food that is not easy to digest can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and cause diarrhea.

2. Parasitic infections such as tapeworms, roundworms, etc. Diarrhea caused by this situation requires a fecal examination at a pet hospital to determine the type of parasite the dog is infected with, and then use relevant anthelmintics.

3. Bacterial enteritis or viral enteritis. Bacterial enteritis is mainly caused by common bacterial infections such as Salmonella and E. coli, and can cause death in severe cases. If diarrhea is caused by a virus, it is recommended to go to a professional pet hospital for treatment in time.
