Herbal Canine Diarrhea RemediesYou may also want to try the following herbal remedies for chronic diarrhea in dogs:Slippery elm Slippery elm soothes and coats the mucuous membranes and is the herb for treating diarrhea. Licorice root Licorice is anti-inflammatory and is a healthier natural substitute for steroids such as corticosteroid that are often used in combination with antibiotics to treat chronic diarrhea in dogs. Catnip Catnip has gas relieving and antispasmodic properties so it is effective in treating flatulence and diarrhea. Echinacea Many chronic diseases are as a result of a dysfunctional immune system. Echinacea strengthens the immune system and returns the system to its normal functional state. TopHomeopathic Canine Diarrhea RemediesNumerous homeopathic remedies are effective in treating diarrhea in dogs. Here are the most common ones:Arsenicum album Dogs needing this remedy have very foul-smelling diarrhea. The excrement may be black and/or watery. The dog may vomit and have diarrhea at the same time. The dog shows signs of restlessness, thirst, and chilliness, and may also be very weak. Colocynthis This remedy is appropriate when a dog has diarrhea that contains jellylike mucus, and when even a small amount of food or water can induce diarrhea. The dog has intense abdominal pain (you can tell by the dog's posture - he may lie on his stomach or may be bending double since these postures can relieve the pain). Pulsatilla Dogs needing this remedy may have alternating diarrhea and constipation. Eating tends to bring on the diarrhea right away. One unusual sign is that the dog is not thirsty. Night time tends to be the worst time. Veratrum album This remedy is for dogs with diarrhea accompanied by vomiting, and the diarrhea is usually severe, resulting in weakness, coldness, and even collapse. Since the conditions are usually severe and the onset is fast, dogs needing this remedy should also be taken to a veterinarian clinic for additional treatment.
