sounds like you're doing all the right things so far. Yes, it could be stress-related, but my main concern is his hydration. Watery diarrhea can dehydrate them fairly quickly. Good on you for adding the broth. If the bland diet isn't helping by tomorrow, you really should have him checked out. Did you boil the chicken? Boiling gets all the fat out of it. Any other way of cooking it won't. Even if it turns out to be stress-related, he may need some meds to help firm up his stools again. How old is he? What kind of dog? Poor thing, I do hope he feels better soon!
Just laundry and grocery shopping for me. How about you? Do you work or do you have a nice relaxing weekend planned?
No, I didn't boil. But I will make sure I boil some tomorrow. He's 9, a teddy-bear. I saw some stuff, Well & Good Dog Anti-Diarrhea Liquid, online. Is that stuff ok to use, or items like it? And his bum is really sore. I read that it's ok to put triple antibiotic on it. Is that ok to use? I feel like such a horrible person because he's been feeling like this. I feel so bad.

I work tomorrow.. I don't normally work on Saturdays, but we had a SUPER slow week a few weeks ago so I could use the hours and our desk is super under-staffed so I picked up a half day. Going to go to the gym in the morning first and try out my new jump rope!
you're not a horrible person, Manda!! hugs You're trying your best to help the poor thing! Yes, you can put a triple antibiotic on his bum. Just allow it to work and don't let him lick it off for a good 10 mins. I've never heard of Well & Good Dog Anti-Diarrhea Liquid, so I looked it up to see what the ingredients are. Kaolin is a natural mineral used for diarrhea, so it won't hurt to try it. The thing is, he may need something stronger. Definitely go with the boiled chicken and rice tomorrow. Also, be sure to check his mucous membranes for tackiness. If you lift his lip and touch it, does your finger stick? If so, he's getting dehydrated. Another way to check is to gently pull up on the loose skin on the back of his neck and let it drop back down. If it snaps back immediately, he's okay. If it's slow to go down, he's getting dehydrated. If it stays up, he needs to go to the vet!
Manda, I am keeping a good thought for your pup, and hope he feels better very soon.
I got a lovely visit today :-) Tempest has descended from above in order to play! You receive a storm item so she can get close enough to give you a MIGHTY BEAR HUG. The Thunder Stealer

How did the gym go? I'm way to old to jump rope! 😆 Your new HA looks great, by the way!
Hope your sweet doggie is feeling better soon!
It was good! Always a good workout on Saturday mornings. I'm suuuuuuuuuuuuper bored right now though :/
He seems to be doing better. He has only pooped twice today, and it's more brown now than yellow, and not nearly as watery. And he made it through the night! I'm hoping he'll be even better tomorrow.

So glad to hear it, Manda! Keep me posted.
I get in trouble when I'm bored LMAO I was just on Amazon looking at stuff! I need to stick around here so I don't spend money I don't have :P
waves back Nice loot you got! I haven't been on all day!
My mom wants me to bring him to the nursing home. he hasn't seen my grandma in a month, and I'm nervous he's going to stress out again when he leaves her. She misses him, and I want her to see him but I don't want to go through this again!

You Win: 4 Carnival Ticket(s)!
Surprise! You also get this old trick or treat item: Gross Black Leech Pizza
Anyone need to eat this? LOL
Manda, I think it's okay to take him. Maybe ask to bring home an article of clothing from her. That way he's got something to sleep with that has her scent on it. It might help. Just a thought.
[edit] Whoot! Since we don't put funds into silly things like prizes, we have this stockpile over in the corner of donated prizes. You can have this one - I guess you've earned it.

Wow, I guess drills are totally worth it LOL
Haha luckily I don't get online shopping when I'm bored xP I ended up watching a movie and then reading a book.
That's a much better alternative. I was just working on a steampunk jacket for hubby. I had him try on what I've gotten done so far and it's a tight fit. He swears he didn't gain that much weight, but I've watched what he's eating, and I wouldn't doubt he's put on a few pounds. Not happy about it since it's already cut out and partly sewn. If this doesn't fit him, he's gonna have to lose the weight! I measured him a month ago, so it's not my fault!
hey, it looks like your trades auto canceled. I had put offers on a couple but they got declined. I see they're all gone. Let me know when you put them back up.
Jenn yeah I knew they were going to expire soon and I just realized it now so I am putting them back up and I'll accept your offer tonight or tomorrow morning when I wake up.
You tossed your into the rift and a moment of calm is followed by a flash of red lightning, before the rift shoots out !
hope your dog is doing better! And that the visit wasn't too stressful, if you took him.
Kasey's poo is solid again! Celebrate!! Haha. Thanks. He is, finally. We have not taken him to see Grandma yet. That's on Saturday. I'm worried about the stress of seeing her, but he hasn't seen her in a month, so I don't know. He might be ok? I know she misses him a lot, and it will make her happy to see him.

Jenn I know you must be busy so I've been checking each morning and night now to see if you had offered on my trades or not.
Hi everybody! I've had a busier than usual few days, so I've not been on the forums. I have still done dailies and checked in at the carnival, some. Here's what I've gotten from Saturday through to today.

Yes, I've put in over 30 hours in 3 days and I'm exhausted. I'll offer tomorrow since it's my day off.
throws confetti I hope it's still solid lol! That's awesome though :)
Had a crappy day today. I'm enjoying an adult beverage and will probably be hugging my pillow soon. I'm also happy we're getting snow overnight.
Night all!
