puppy diahrrea

My puppy is 10 days old and just started getting diahrrea today.

Her stomach looks a little bloated also and she hasn't eaten as much as she usually does today.

Is it safe to give her pedialyte?



Hi Audree
With a puppy this young, it's generally not a good idea to give her anything other than her momma's milk/special puppy formula/water.

It sounds as though you're feeding her yourself and it could be that she's picked up an infection of some kind.

I would recommend that you have your vet take a look at her and give you some advice. Tiny puppies can get really sick, really fast, so it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Best of luck!
