What's wrong with dogs having white stools? This may be because the dog is ingesting something abnormal, or because the dog is suffering from viral gastroenteritis. It is recommended that you take your dog to the veterinarian as soon as possible so that you can diagnose and receive treatment in a timely manner.
1. Drinking too much milk
Because dogs are intolerant of lactose, if the owner drinks too much milk for the dog, it may cause white stools. At the same time, because the dog's stomach and intestines are also relatively fragile, if you give the dog too much milk, you may also experience symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner should not drink milk for the dog in the future to avoid this situation.
2. After taking deworming medicine
If the dog takes white stool after taking the deworming medicine, it is normal. This is the dog's elimination of parasites in the body, so the owner does not have to worry too much. After the dog discharging the parasites in the body, it will return to normal.
3. Indigestion
If the owner eats too much cornmeal, rice, bones and other indigestive foods for the dog, it may also cause white stools. Therefore, to avoid this, the owner can add a proper amount of water to the dog when feeding to moisten the food and make sure the dog drinks enough water. In addition, owners can also give their dogs some drugs that promote gastrointestinal digestion, such as probiotics, to help dogs restore their intestinal bacterial health.
4. Causes of the disease
If the dog has long-term white feces and is accompanied by abnormal phenomena such as listlessness and loss of appetite, then it is necessary to consider that the dog may have biliary obstruction, such as gallstones, jaundice, etc. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for relevant examinations in time to confirm the condition and provide corresponding treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
