Diarrhea is an animal passing stools that contain more water than normal and are accompanied by increased stool frequency, fluidity, or volume. The British questionnaire showed that 14.9% of the surveyed dogs had diarrhea in the past 2 weeks. Among the dogs who went to the veterinary hospital, 28.6% of the dogs had diarrhea, and 2.2% of the dogs came to the doctor because of diarrhea.

Diarrhea can be divided into acute diarrhea, chronic diarrhea (lasting more than 3-4 weeks) by time, and small intestinal diarrhea by location , Colorectal diarrhea, according to whether the infection is divided into: infectious diarrhea and non-infectious diarrhea.

Food intolerance, sudden food changes, viral, bacterial and parasitic infections, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, intussusception, stress syndrome, Poisoning, acute pancreatitis and adrenal insufficiency.

Food intolerance, parasites, inflammatory bowel disease, antibiotic-responsive bowel disease, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

Diarrhea caused by intestinal infection of various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi.

Features: Infectious diarrhea such as viruses and bacteria, often with fever symptoms, and often manifested by vomiting. Bacterial diarrhea, mucus or even pus and blood-like substances are often seen in the stool, and the amount of defecation is not much; viral diarrhea is often watery stool, and the amount of defecation is large each time, which is prone to dehydration.

Diarrhea without pathogens, the main types are increased intestinal osmotic pressure, digestion and absorption disorders, abnormal intestinal peristalsis and abnormal intestinal secretion.

Characteristics: Non-infectious diarrhea, often food-borne, dyspepsia, presence of raw food particles in stool, no fever, and occasional vomiting.

For diarrhea, the main point of symptomatic treatment is to restore the three-dimensional fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance. Usually, animals with moderate to severe diarrhea need to be treated. Intravenous infusion. Antidiarrheal drugs can be used when it is difficult to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance due to excessive defecation. Severe enteritis usually causes vomiting, and centrally acting antiemetics are more effective than peripherally acting antiemetics.

Infectious diarrhea: viral diarrhea: serum, albumin, monoclonal antibodies, etc.; bacterial diarrhea: antibiotic treatment; parasitic diarrhea: internal drive Insect medicine. Non-infectious diarrhea: food intolerance diarrhea: diet control, use of hypoallergenic foods Inflammatory bowel disease: corticosteroid immunosuppressant for several weeks, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and other diseases.

After diarrhea occurs, usually fast for 24-36 hours, then give food with high digestibility, low soluble fiber and moderate fat content, eat less and more , lasting 3-4 days.

Protein: In intestinal diseases, it is very necessary to use high-quality protein. Protein is an important substance for the normal operation of the body, especially for chronic small intestinal diseases (protein malabsorption and protein-losing enteropathy), The type of protein should be chosen carefully in cases of food allergy.

Carbohydrates: In cases of small intestinal diarrhea, monosaccharides and disaccharides, especially lactose, should be avoided or reduced because they increase intestinal osmotic pressure. Rice is the best raw material because of its High digestibility produces low osmotic pressure and promotes absorption of water and electrolytes.

Fat: It is the most complex type of nutrients to digest and absorb (mainly by pancreatic lipase and bile salts). Adequate intake of fat has a positive impact on the treatment of diseases, such as omega -3 fatty acids.

Medication to control diarrhea. Antidiarrheal effect by reducing bowel motility or protecting the bowel from irritation. It is suitable for severe diarrhea or long-term chronic diarrhea to prevent excessive dehydration of the body, disorders of water and salt metabolism, and digestive and nutritional disorders.

Change gastrointestinal motility: enhance gastrointestinal tension, inhibit intestinal peristalsis, prevent propulsive contraction, thereby slowing down the speed of food advancement and making water fully absorbed. Commonly used drugs include compound camphor tincture, atropine sulfate

Adsorbents: Absorbs gas, bacteria, viruses and exotoxins in the intestinal tract, preventing their absorption and damage to the intestinal mucosa, such as medicinal charcoal, etc.

Astringent protective agent: can be used in the intestinal tract A protective film is formed on the mucous membrane to protect it from irritation, including tannin, bismuth carbonate, etc.

Bismuth subcarbonate tablets - gastrointestinal mucosal protective agent for dogs - vomiting, diarrhea: suitable for common canine Gastrointestinal mucosal damage, such as bacterial, viral, dog vomiting and diarrhea caused by changing dog food or food poisoning, protect the gastrointestinal mucosa from damage. It can be used in conjunction with drugs that are more irritating to the gastrointestinal tract to reduce the damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa. Suitable for symptoms such as indigestion in puppies.
