Runny Poo

[sallyannh]

For the last week Darcy has had runny poo. There's been no change in his diet, he's not going more often than before and his stools are sloppy but not watery and there's no mucus.

He had an anasthetic for a dental about the same time this started, but the vet says this is unlikely to be the cause.

I'll try him on chicken and rice for a couple of days and if it doesn't improve we'll go to the vets, but wondered if anyone else can suggest anything.

Hi
this is totally normal, this is what happens after operations ect, it could take up to 10 days to clear the system, add some dry bread to the diet to soak up the excess moisture and clean the bowel and he will soon be back to normal.

Thanks Pat, that's a relief.

The dogs will be disappointed, they quite enjoyed the chicken and rice! I'll keep that up for a few days though.
