When your fur baby is having diarrhoea, it’s critical for pet parents to understand the root causes and how to respond to keep them healthy.


Contrary to common misconception, digestive issues aren’t always “just a stomachache” — they can stem from a range of triggers. Diet-related causes include sudden food switches or allergies 🥣, while infections from bacteria, viruses, or parasites can invade their gut 🦠. Irritants like foreign objects, toxins, or even antibiotics can also disrupt their digestive balance, and serious underlying issues (pancreatitis, autoimmune disorders, intestinal tumors etc.) may be to blame in severe cases 🩻.


You can make easy fixes at home to help them recover from a short term, mild diarrhoea episode. However, if this problem persists or worsens, then it is strongly advised for you to bring them to see a vet. Never use human medications for pet digestive troubles, as they can be toxic!! 


‼️Save this guide for reference, and share with fellow pet parents to make sure you know what to do if your pet has diarrhoea! 🐾‼️
