Recently, my puppy, Jenny, has been suffering from diarrhea. I remembered that I gave her some milk a few days ago and felt that I was too irresponsible and should study this issue. So, let’s take a look at what to do if the dog has diarrhea when drinking milk.
First of all, we need to know that dogs have more fragile stomachs than humans, and their ability to digest and absorb food is not as good as that of humans. Milk is a dairy product and generally contains high fat and protein. It will be decomposed into lactose, milk protein and other components in the human body. However, dogs cannot decompose lactose. Intake of large amounts of milk will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. What should you do if your dog unfortunately drinks milk and causes it to get diarrhea? Here are a few suggestions. First of all, let your dog drink water without interruption. Due to excessive diarrhea, dogs are prone to dehydration, and drinking water continuously helps maintain balance in the body. In addition, don’t let your dog eat too much food. You can feed more light dog food to relieve the dog’s stomach and intestinal burden. Secondly, you can give your dog some probiotic milk powder. Probiotics can promote gastrointestinal digestion, help dogs digest remaining milk, regulate the balance of gastrointestinal bacteria, and enhance immunity. Probiotic milk powder can be purchased at pet stores or online. Be sure to choose a good brand and you can consult a veterinarian to purchase it. Finally, if the situation is serious and the above measures are not effective, it is best to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. Veterinarians can diagnose and treat the dog's condition to help the dog recover.
In short, it is not a serious matter for dogs to get diarrhea after drinking milk, and some measures can be taken to alleviate it. However, in daily diet, we should still pay attention to avoid giving dogs foods that are not suitable for them to eat, so as to ensure their health.
