Vet Nurse's Essential Advice for Treating Dog Diarrhea

Pet owners in the UK are often unsure how to best treat their dogs when they experience diarrhea. A recent video by Jade The Vet Nurse, a registered veterinary nurse, offers practical advice. She stresses that starving a dog with diarrhea is outdated advice. Instead, she recommends three steps: providing plenty of water to prevent dehydration; feeding small, frequent meals of easily digestible food such as plain cooked chicken and rice; and administering probiotics to restore gut balance. However, she cautions that veterinary attention is crucial if the dog is vomiting, has bloody stools, is lethargic, or shows other signs of illness. "Don’t starve your dog if they get diarrhoea!" she emphasizes in her video. The video's popularity highlights the need for clear, accessible information on pet care.
