Is it the weather?

Charlie got sick last week, only once, but since then she got diarhaer (spelled wrong?). She makes a normal pooh first in morning but 20 min later it gets softer and softer until it's just liquid and that's every day! After she got sick I gave her nothing for 24 hours and then only dry food, now she's back on her normal food which is dry food which some spoonfool of meat!

I've heard from other dogs that they had similar problems with the pooh beein ok at first and then get softer, is it because about the weather? It' s very warm/hot here since 2 weeks? I just wonder???? :roll:

It's hot as hades here, but we've not had any poo problems. *touch wood*
I think if it has been going on for a week, I'd probably get to the vet for a check up - just to be safe. :?
My sister and I were just talking about this exact subject this morning. Oliver and her pup have both been having soft stools, not runny as you desribed, but a little soft. We were wondering the same thing-does the fact it is over 100 degress out have anything to do with it?
It's been over 100 here as well and Barney has had a few days of a regular poo followed by softies...He's fine otherwise, so I'm just chalking it up to the weather.
We are the opposite, rain finally and last week mine had it. I gave up and went to the vets as sloppy poops and hairy butts got way too much. :evil:

If it has been going on for more then a couple of days best to take her to the vet and have it cleared up with medication. :wink: Mine started out firm and over about 4 days just got sloppier and sloppier. I even did not feed them for 24 hours and started them back on rice and chicken but needed to go to the vets in the end. :roll: So I knew it was not dietry some sort of bug there.

I was thinking change in weather too, but going from very dry conditions to wet and soggy conditions here.

Bugs/viruses grow in all sorts of conditions and I think with any weather change it brings the buggars out. :evil:

We finally have firmys YAY. :D
