CBD Oil For Dog Diarrhea

 CBD Oil For Dog Diarrhea
Diarrhea is never fun, especially for dogs who can’t tell you how they’re feeling. Though most of us dog owners know what it feels like to have a case of diarrhea, we may not fully understand what our dogs go through when they come down with the illness.

Here, we’ll discuss what dog diarrhea is. Then, we’ll start to talk about the causes and treatment methods that are options to treat your dog when he or she is sick.

What is Diarrhea?

Diarrhea to humans is the same to dogs; it’s the passing of unformed stools. Unfortunately, when your dog has diarrhea, it usually happens more than once in a day. In other words, the frequency and the volume of the loose stools will increase.

One thing you need to understand is that diarrhea is not a disease in itself. Instead, it’s a symptom of many diseases. What’s more is that because it’s only a symptom of a disease, it’s easier to treat.

However, some cases that can be life-threatening once in a great while. If your beloved furry friend is battling cancer or organ system failure, diarrhea will require treatment quickly.

What Causes Diarrhea?

Diarrhea is your dog’s body’s natural production of loose stools; loose stools form when feces are moving quickly through the intestines with little to no water absorption. Electrolytes and nutrients are usually lacking, too.

If the main symptom that your dog is facing is diarrhea, it’s likely that he or she is dealing with a bacterial or viral infection. If the main symptom is diarrhea, your dog may also be having a hard time adjusting to new foods that you are feeding them. Sometimes, dogs experience diarrhea even when stressed out, like when experiencing separation anxiety or motion sickness.

More severe cases of diarrhea can occur by more intense internal infections, allergies, organ dysfunction, or inflammatory intestinal disease. Go to your vet immediately if it persists.

Traditional Treatment for Diarrhea

It’s hard to say what the actual treatment is for dog diarrhea, considering the cause of the symptom has to be known first.

For dogs dealing with diarrhea as a symptom, veterinarians may suggest holding off on food for approximately twelve hours to give the digestive tract a rest. Never limit water intake for your dog during this time. Your dog will then have a new diet for a few days until his or her stools are back to normal.

If the case of diarrhea is worse or more fatal, your vet may prescribe oral medications for your dog to take.  If diarrhea persists, there may be a chance that the inflammation within the body is causing harm to your pup. In this is the case, your vet will prescribe other medications to relieve the pain. If the condition gets worse, additional tests may have to take place.

Can CBD Help Treat Diarrhea in Dogs?

CBD oil can help any inflammation in the body, and diarrhea is no exception to that.
CBD will help calm your dog’s digestive tract to make sure that diarrhea doesn’t flow out so fast and in such volumes. Though it is suggested to still take food away from your dog for about twelve hours, it’s okay to administer CBD during this time.

CBD Dosage for Dogs with Diarrhea

Like with any other symptom or ailment, CBD dosage needs to be thoroughly thought through. Depending on the severity of diarrhea will depend on the amount of CBD to give your pup. Read the recommendations, and you should be on your way to treating your dog the proper way.
