But I let him do that last night and we found a big puddle of poop of the floor and I'm not ready to risk that again. Normally I would let him run around baked to let his butt air out. But I'm wondering what I can do to help my poor little guy? Should I use diaper baby powder instead of the rash cream?

He wouldn't even nurse because he couldn't stop crying.Īfter a few minutes, he stopped crying and seems better now. I think putting the diaper rash cream on him made it worse, like it was burning him! I just changed him again for having a dirty diaper and he screamed and cried and cried and cried. The ultrasound surveys the abdomen for any clue as to what might be causing the diarrhea. This examines your dog’s intestines for any signs of foreign material, thickening of the intestinal wall, or enlarged lymph nodes. He screamed when I wiped his butt clean as gently as I could and screamed even louder when I put Desiden on him.īut seemed to be fine afterwards and he has been playing all morning. If the diarrhea does not respond to a special diet, the next step is an abdominal ultrasound. His butt was all red! All his cheeks and his parts were vivid red :( A lack of exercise It’s important for dogs to get regular exercise, even if only walking around the house or yard once every few days. Well this morning he woke up with a full diaper of poop and it smelled very strong and acidic, almost burning! Some of the most common causes of a sore bum in dogs are: A lack of fiber in their diet Dogs require a healthy amount of fiber in their diet to prevent constipation and diarrhea. Since he seemed happy otherwise and wasn't running a fever, I assumed it was from drinking more milk than he was used to.Īnyways, I had been applying Desiden after every change to avoid a rash. Yesterday my son started to have really bad diarrhea and threw up twice. But, I felt a little dismissed in the appointment.Sorry for so many posts lately, but this is something that has come up overnight. The NP kept saying that she wasn't worried and used the rationale that he has been sick so naturally would lose weight. He didn't gain any weight, in fact he lost a few ounces since his 15 month check up. We haven't had his 18 month check up yet so he hasn't been weighed since 15 months. Any tips on what I can use to help the pain and help his bum to heal? I struggle with the diaper creams because they are so hard to get off each and every time he poops, which would make his bum even more sore! Any tips greatly appreciated!! also, when we were at the dr yesterday, she weighed him. His bum is very red and very sore, every time I change him he is in serious pain. I took him to my doctors yesterday and seen the NP who felt it was a virus and needs to run its course. My guy has had diarrhea (6-9 times a day) since Thursday.
