What Do I Do If My Dog Has Diarrhea?

My dog has had diarrhea for three days. I am wondering if it is a bowel obstruction. He had some chicken (neck, heart, gizzard's etc.) a few days ago (he's a large dog and has never had trouble with this before but he's also old (14). He's not eating much and drinking even less. What can we do?

      I have heard from my vet to not feed my dog for the rest of that day, but make sure it has water to drink. And then the next couple of days feed it bland food, such as rice and chicken (cooked). Your dog may have eaten something that it's body did not agree with, try and think back. It could also be related to giving it bones.
      Hope this helps...

        You aren't supposed to feed dogs chicken bones of any size, especially neck!!! There are too many shards that  break off and perforate the lining of the stomach and the intestines. You NEED TO GET THE DOG TO THE VET!!! Especially considering his age. Hope this helps, good luck!

        Diarrhea is officially defined as an increase in the volume and/or fluidity of feces or an increase in the frequency of defecation. Dietary management often forms a major part of the diagnosis and treatment of cases. Other than surgical treatments for problems such as obstructions, a number of medical treatments may also be used. These include antibiotics for specific infections and 'antibiotic responsive enteropathy', anti-parasitic treatments, anti-inflammatory drugs (most commonly corticosteroids) and immunosuppressive treatments. Don't worry
