Not a Cat Question?

Question

my puppy was born Jan. 9th, so he is about 7 mos old, he has been having diareah for 4-5 days, but seems to be acting okay otherwise. He has had all shots necessary, but only received one dose of deworming, which I did not realize until I saw a worm in his stool 2 days ago, I took him into vet Thursday and he got 1 dose again and will get the other in 3 weeks. can I buy any over counter remedies for his diareah?

Answer

Hello, Susiq
You can give a dog pepto bismol to help. Just give 1 tbsp per 25 pounds of body weight.
Since it is confirmed he has worms, that is probably what is causing it. Give the meds the vet gave you some time. I am sure it will go away once the medication has done it's job.
