Thank you for your question. Diarrhea is a common condition in pets that can be caused by various factors and requires specific treatment. It can be caused by a parasitic infection like giardia, bacterial toxins such as clostridium, or even be a symptom of more serious underlying malabsorptive disorders like inflammatory bowel disease. All of which need different treatment. Generally, diarrhea caused by dietary indiscretion should resolve within 3-5 days with a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice. However, since diarrhea can have different causes, it is best to seek veterinary care if you are concerned about your pet's condition. A visit to your nearest veterinary hospital can help determine the underlying cause of your pet's diarrhea and ensure they receive appropriate care.
