why is my dog having diarrhea?

[dogmation]

can weather cause him to have diarrhea?
i live in Los Angeles California.
the past 3 days it's been very hot to the point my dog started panting a lot. it didn't seem like my dog was dehydrated or anything. This one day he started eating very slowly which is not normal because usually it takes about 5 mins for him to finish all his food but that day when he ate his food slowly it literally took him about an hour to finish his foood. after 2 days he started eating his food normally as before and he started having diarrhea afterwards. It's been 12 hours since he's bin having diarrhea. so do u guys think there's something wrong with him? he looks perfectly normal by the way.
can hot weather effect dog's health?

It sounds like maybe he could have worm s, or could have some other anomaly. Since it hs been over twelve hours, I would take him to the vet.

A lot of different things can cause a dog to have loose stools. If it continues you run the risk of dehydration. I would take the dog to the vet to make sure that the loose stools are not being caused by anything serious.

or it can simply be something he ate, most likely

If it continues for more than a day or so, you need to get him to a vet as the longer he stays dehydrated the more dangerous it can be

You can test for dehydration by taking the skin up between your fingers and then releasing it. It should snap back into place. If it kind of slowly goes back into place then he's dehydrated. It's very easy to get dehydrated from diahrea and the summer months don't help either. Make sure he has plenty of access to water.

Diahrea can be caused by several things. Disease, diet, parasites, change of environment, etc. Have you switched food recently? Is he on a heart worm preventative? Most of them have a dewormer in them. How old is the dog?

Bit dishonest dont ya think

 

[GlassOnion]

Not only dishonest but unethical too. You could get in trouble for that. I hope you're making the clients at least understand that you're not a vet and you may be wrong in regards to treatment. Because we're certainly not vets and if you're just passing on the information...
