What if your dog gets diarrhea and loose bowel but not throwing up?

Stop feeding dog food and go to small amounts of cooked rice several times a day. If the dog is getting better you can gradually add the dog food. If the dog still has diarrhea after 24 hours, please see your vet to determine the cause of your dogs illness. A dog can get very dehydrated and I wouldn't let the diarrhea go unchecked for long. You can also give the dog an adult dose of pepto bismol in liquid or tablet form (tablet is much easier, they hate the taste) if it weighs over 50 lbs. Give a half dose for smaller dogs or a quarter dose for toy dogs. You can repeat this every 4-6 hours depending on the severity of the diarrhea. Bottom line though, see your vet if the problem continues.
