Introduction
One of the most common diseases or sickness, that people and animal face is diarrhoea. Both in humans and dogs that is very common and it is an efficacious way for the body to eliminate the toxins and pathogens. But there is also another thing, which you should note and that is that, if the sickness of lose motions continue for more than 48 hours in dogs or humans, then it is an underlying cause of health problem. So, how will you know if my dog has diarrhea but is acting fine or whether there is need for any emergency? Besides all of that, figuring out the cause of sickness can be a confusing situation. But luckily, the gut health analyst can uncover the important clues.
Dogs Having Lose Motions
Diarrhoea can be a small thing or a serious thing. It can also be acute or it can be chronic, depending on the health scenario. And, many times the reason for it is obvious, but at the same time the exact cause for the same can be difficult to identify. Some of the most common causes for diarrhoea in the dogs are due to something that dogs ate. In case if the dog’s digestion is upset, then its an obvious thing, he must have eaten something wrong. Also, a sudden change in the diet of your pet can also be the cause of the same. Besides all of that, a food allergy or intolerance can also cause the same. Moreover, another thing that you must have noticed is that, dogs also have fondness for eating stuffs that do not belong to their food category.
Resolving the Diarrhoea
Another thing, which you ought to know is that dogs are scavengers and it is common for them to eat animal carcasses, garbage and other kinds of scraps. It can lead to the stomach being upset. Besides all of that, lose motions is a kind of adaption which assists the scavenging animals to get rid of the toxins and also, the pathogens which such food items or waste contain. They also can get into dietary indiscretion – which is one of the most acute causes of diarrhoea among the dogs. In many of the cases, it happens that the lose motions or upset stomach gets resolved by itself in a day or in 2 days. But in case, if your dog has eaten something poisonous or chocolate then visit your vet immediately.
Blockages, Exercise and Stress Are Dangerous
If there have been intestinal blockages like if you suspect that your dog has ingested any plastic or toy or other object, then see a vet. Such foreign items are one of the main causes of diarrhoea. It can create blockage in gastrointestinal tract and interfere with the movements and digestive system. Besides all of those chewing rawhides, swallowing them, excess exercise and stress can be other causes of diarrhoea.
