Hello, My dog got nurtured on March 3rd.. and last night he was having diarrhea I was just wondering if this was normal or is it because of wet food. I do not have any picture right now.

It could be due to the diet, especially if it was a recent change. You should submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose or rule out intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth though. If Major is behaving normally otherwise, you can try withholding food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet. Symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian include: lethargy, vomiting, persistent diarrhea, loss or appetite or abdominal pain.
