In this lesson, we'll be covering diarrhea in your cats and dogs, coming right on the heels of dog and cat vomiting, which are pretty commonly seen in combination. At the end of this lesson, we'll provide you with a Word about why dogs eat grass.

Diarrhea is another common problem in both cats and dogs, and as mentioned above, can be accompanied with vomiting or exist all by itself.

If your pet is otherwise acting normal, feeling and behaving normally, and has normal vital signs, you can watch the diarrhea situation more closely for a day or two and see if it goes away on its own.

However, if your pet's diarrhea persists beyond two days, you should make an appointment to see your vet as this could indicate a bigger problem.

Pro Tip: Pet diarrhea is common. Bloody stools are not. If your pet's diarrhea has any blood in it – whether bright red or dark red – this should warrant an immediate trip to your veterinarian.

Warning: Also worth mentioning – if your pet develops a severe case of bloody diarrhea suddenly, this could be a life-threatening situation, and immediate veterinary care should be sought.
