In this case, we really need to find the cause of the diarrhoea so that we can treat your puppy’s problem (not just the symptom). This will help us reach the best treatment plan too. 

The cough, watery eyes and snotty nose also mean there some type of respiratory inflammation or infection. 

Some of the underlying causes of diarrhoea might be:

•  Stress associated with change of their environment
•  Dietary change induced diarrhoea
•  Infectious disease (bacteria, viruses, parasites)
•  Gut problems (inflammatory bowel disease, tumours, obstructions, food intolerance or food allergies)
• Abdominal or metabolic problems (kidney, liver, pancreatitis, spleen, electrolyte abnormalities, diabetes)
• Direct irritation of the stomach
• A reaction to toxins or other drugs
• Dietary indiscretion (aka what every puppy owner knows all too well – they will eat anything and everything!)

If your pup is otherwise healthy (bright, happy, great appetite and good weight), that’s a great sign, but she needs to be monitored closely as puppies can deteriorate and become dehydrated from fluid loss quickly.

However if your pup is flat or the diarrhoea is continuing she really need a hands-on examination from your local vet to treat the symptoms, but also get to the bottom of the problem.

If you’d like to chat in person, you can get a vet on a live video call or start a chat to discuss in more detail now.
