    Thank you all for your comments... and the laughs about pink dogs!
    I've never tried the liquid... I've alway given my Buddy the caplets!

    Well... the mystery has been solved, we now know why he had diarrhea.

    My grandma, who lives next door and has the begining stages of alzheimer's, picked up dog food accidently last week instead of cat food and she's been feeding him that!!!
    So it's just the different dog food that's upset his tummy!!!
    WHEW!!!
    Glad it wasn't worms or anything else like that.
    I spent the night there last night with him and made a bunch of rice and chicken for my uncle to feed him till my parent's get home tomorrow night.
    Thank you all again for the comments!

    Whew! Glad you know what the culprit is and is well. And no pink dog. (except you're way smarter than me and use caplets anyway!)



    I've been Boooo'd!

    Glad you solved the mystery as to the why.

    How is Buddy Jr. doing today?

    Just keep an eye on him the next couple days to make sure he's not vomiting, or the diarrhea continues or he stops eating altogether. Sudden changes in food can sometimes cause pancreatitis in some dogs and those would be signs to watch for.

    I hope this all resolves itself and things go back to normal soon.
