My Pet Has Diarrhea–Should I Worry?

Winter Park Veterinary Hospital Can Help if Your Pet Has Persistent Diarrhea

Yes, pets get diarrhea too, which is no fun for either you or your dog or cat.  The term “diarrhea” means unformed or loose stools, usually occurring in larger amounts and/or more often than usual. Diarrhea is not a disease itself but is a symptom of many different diseases or underlying conditions.  Diarrhea can be associated with minor conditions that can be cleared up quickly, or may also be the result of serious or life-threatening illnesses.  Even diarrhea caused by mild illnesses may become serious if treatment is not begun early enough.
