• My dachshund has been experiencing diarrhea for 48+ hours every 6 hours. I’ve been feeding him strictly chicken and rice the past day and feeding him water but I’m unsure as to what is causing this. The only thing I can think of is a new bone I gave him Friday but the diarrhea and sometimes vomiting is still an issue

    Hi Deanna,
    I recommend that you take him into see a veterinarian as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Diarrhea that lasts more than 12 hours is concerning. There can be many different causes for this including infection, inflammation of the GI tract, intestinal parasites, or an underlying medical issue. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of his symptoms and the treatment he needs after they have examined him.
