Home Care Training for a Puppy with Diarrhea

It is really a big challenge for a trainee to train a puppy that has diarrhea or irregular bowel movements. There are few reasons on how and why your puppy get to loose his/her stools. For assurance as an owner or a trainer to your puppies, you should always consult with your veterinarian whenever your puppy develop diarrhea.


First, be responsible to make sure that your puppy is not taking something that he shouldn’t be eating. Puppies love to explore, tend to find things and put them into their mouth and eventually eat it. This is one of the causes that lead to loose stools or the reason for them to have diarrhea. As a trainer, part of your puppy house training is making sure to puppy proof your house.


Second, do not feed your puppy any people food. Your puppy’s digestive system cannot handle it, and they may develop loose stools or diarrhea.
Third, for young puppies under 12 weeks old, your veterinarian should let you know on feeding your puppy around 3 times a day. Every dog is different, and also their digestive systems are different. In your house training, some puppies may need to be fed 4 or 5 smaller meals a day as their systems develop. This will help avoid overloading their digestive system, and allow time to digest their food. This can help your puppy avoid loose stools or diarrhea.

You will eventually have to cut out your work for you. Even though your puppy has diarrhea, you will not treat them as if they should be confine, they still be trained with the same training as if they don’t have diarrhea but with much more frequently.Keep an eye on your dog and read his body language. Be the one to initiate when your puppy tells you he has to go out to go potty. Yes, your dog can tell you when he has to go out.

Depending on how bad your puppy has diarrhea, you may just want to set up a schedule of taking your puppy out every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or whatever seems best to let your sick puppy relieve himself and to avoid any accidents in your house.
You will also probably want to fast your puppy. This means that you should not feed him for up to 12 hours, until he stops defecating. After fasting your puppy, you may also want to start with feeding your puppy some plain canned pumpkin, or some boiled chicken with rice. You can see that they should also be cared as a person has a sick. Treat them as one of your love ones; after all, your puppy is your responsibility.

As always, anytime your dog has any health issues, you should consult with your vet for help. They may suggest you bring your puppy in for testing to make sure your puppy’s diarrhea is not something more serious. You also need to make sure your dog does not get dehydrated, which is a danger with diarrhea.

Always consult with your veterinarian for any health issues that your dog is having trouble with. They may suggest you bring your puppy in for testing to make sure your puppy’s diarrhea is not something more serious. Don’t let them be dehydrated if they have diarrhea, this is one of the risk factor that your dog will be dealing with.
You will be in tough position whenever your puppy gets diarrhea. You are responsible to take care of him without a problem. Don’t take the risk to put your puppy in danger of being sick. Secure him that you are being a good trainer and a best buddy to your dog. If they get sick in weekends, you don’t have any problem taking care of your puppy but if it happens to be weekdays and your busy with something, maybe you are having dilemma on how to deal with your puppy’s situation.

You have a puppy now. You will either have to stay home from work to make sure your puppy is taken care of, or have someone else take care of them.
