Overview and Risk
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is a condition that results when your dog’s immune system turns against the lining of her gastrointestinal (GI) tract, causing an issue with the absorption of nutrients and ability to digest food properly. This wreaks havoc on your dog’s entire GI system, and can impact the stomach and upper small intestine, causing chronic vomiting, and/or the lower intestine, causing diarrhea. IBD is one of the most common causes of persistent vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Unfortunately, the cause of this debilitating disease often can’t be determined.

What you can do at home for a dog with diarrhea
Of all these diarrhea causes, I have to point out that stress is something you can have an impact on.
If you are sure that your dog’s diet could not be having any toxicities recently such as rat bait, then there is no need to get alarmed.
If your kitten appears OK after a single bout of diarrhea, it may be safe to monitor him. However, if you observe any sleepiness, fever or modification inhabits, call your veterinarian for an appointment as quickly as possible.
When it comes to managing diarrhea at home, it’s best follow your vet’s advice carefully. Sometimes your vet will want you to avoid feeding your dog for 24 hours to allow the digestive system to rest. However, fresh water should always be made available. Waiting twelve to twenty-four hours before giving your dog anything to eat allows the inflamed intestines time to rest and recover and minimizes the water lost from the body. It is critical to provide your dog with fresh water and to encourage them to drink to prevent dehydration.
