Diarreah (UPDATE)
My dog is 3 years old, she had dirreah all night. At first it was mushy (sorry TMI) but throughout the rest of the night into this morning it was watery.
She has never had it this bad.
Is there anything I can give her to help?
Should I take her to the vet if it continues today?
Thanks!
Update: So yesterday I get home from work and my little girl did #2. As she was going (sorry TMI) I noticed her feces looked normal but as she was going I noticed a string which I had to help pull out, come to find out she ate my sister's tampon!   She ate it whole and digested it whole and that's exactly how it came out. Now I'm nervous but she seems perfectly fine, she hasn't gone #2 since so I will make sure today's is normal.
I'm so nervous

Re: Diarreah
Yes i would take her to the vet if it continues. Have you changed her food or anything out of the norm? What breed is she? My Porter is a Boxer/Pit mix and he started having Diarreah. Poor thing, one night it was like a fire hydrant. Rushed him to emergency. They did NOTHING! Took him to my vet first thing and turns out he has Colitis. Common in some breeds like boxers. He is on Prescription food. We are now trying Hollistic food to see if we can get him off prescription diet. I'm telling ya, all my dogs have a problem, i had one with Diabetes, he was on shots twice a day for 4 years, one with Lymes disease, one with colitis and 2 with a luxating platella. But if the Diarreah continues i would take her to the vet. Good Luck! I'm sure she is fine. Coud be upset stomach. Try boilng some chicken and rice. That helps settle thier stomach

She's a Pug and yes, I did recently change her food. I usually give her Mighty Dog (wet canned food) but the last time I went food shopping they didn't have it. They had Mighty Dog Gourmet and so I got it. I have been giving it to her for the past week or so but not every day and I guess last night the flavor my husband gave her did not agree with her well. I'll keep my eye on her for the rest of the day and if it continues I will most certainly take her to the vet tonight. My husband is home right now and said she's been okay and hasn't gone.

It sounds like an upset stomach from changing the food. Try giving her boiled chicken and rice. If she's not acting right then i would take her to the vet but if it's just Diarreah and she is acting fine try the chicken and rice first.
