Pets Experiencing Diarrhea Huntingdon Valley Veterinary Hospital

Many cases of diarrhea can be managed with good supportive care with the aid of your veterinarian. In those cases, preventing dehydration, antibiotics, and dietary modifications are likely to result in a good clinical outcome and resolution of clinical signs. If a GI parasite is suspected, a fecal examination will help diagnose the type of worm or Parasite Present, and the most effective medications to eliminate it. When a more serious underlying disease state is suspected, your veterinarian may suggest blood work, radiographs, ultrasound examination or other diagnostics tests to help make the correct diagnosis.
