My 7 Month Old Female Great Pear/ Ausy Mix Is Having Constant Diarrhea, I Gave Her Some Anti-diarrheal Medicine, Will It Hurt Her? Also What Could Be Causing This? What's A Dog's Normal Temperature? Could It Be From Worms?

My dog recently has had tape worms and now has had diarrhea. Could it be from that or could she be sick? If she is sick, what should I look for symptoms wise? What would her temperature be?

A dog's normal temperature is between 99.5-102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Causes of diarrhea include intestinal parasites--like tapeworms, dietary indiscretion, giardia, toxin, viral diseases--especially parvovirus in young animals, and stress. Without knowing the type or dose of medication you gave I cannot tell you if it was safe. Your dog needs to be examined by a veterinarian to rule out serious causes of diarrhea like parvo and start your dog on appropriate treatment.
