Thank you for submitting your question regarding Butter. Unfortunately, diarrhea can have many causes. Convenia is the most likely cause, but anesthesia could cause it as well as the stress of her visit or an underlying medical condition. If there is blood in the stool or she is acting sick, then she will need to see a veterinarian today. This doesn't sound like the case based on your post though. Otherwise, I recommend that she sees her veterinarian tomorrow. It is easy for her to become dehydrated from the ongoing fluid loss in the stool. The veterinarian will examine her and determine how best to treat her and resolve the diarrhea. For example, subcutaneous fluids, probiotics and possibly antibiotic may be warranted. I hope this information helps!
