Moved this to a better forum for you

Best thing to do is to starve him for the day, and if he seems better tomorrow, give him a light meal, like some boiled rice and chicken. And make sure he has lots of water.

Agree with Tara, hope he's well again soon.

I agree as well. I don't suppose you have any Kaogel handy? It's very good for mild tummy bugs.

Also, boiled eggs can help to firm up stools and settle the stomach a bit.

Obviously, if the runs are severe, or it carries on for more than a couple of days then a trip to the vets might be needed.

Yea agree with everyone above keep meals as bland as ossible for a few days.

Yeah, as people have already said, starving for 24 hours will give the digestive tract time to recover and rest. It may sound a little extreme, but it doesn't do any harm to the dog. It's usually the best way for them to recover.

If it persists for more than two/three days or worsens, you may want to take him to the vets.
