Some causes of diarrhea include change in diet, parasites, infectious or immune-mediated disease. Bringing your dog to their primary care doctor is recommended to perform a fecal flotation (to rule out parasites) and bloodwork (to see if there's any concern for an infectious process) and if any other medication may be necessary.
