Homeopathic Remedies for Diarrhea
Nux Vomica 200c or 30c could be considered in cases of diarrhea and nausea caused from drug side effects or vaccines, digestive upsets such as a change in diet, overeating or eating garbage. It is also good for pets who do not digest fats well. Here's a homeopathic secret for pet owners (we hope you never need it) who overindulge in drinking beer... Nux Vomica is the #1 hangover remedy for a beer binge.
Podophylum 200c or 30c is a good all round first aid choice in many cases of diarrhea. Symptoms may include stools that containing mucus, have a putrid odor, greenish color, have the characteristic of being hydrant or gushing, the anus may prolapse.
Veratrum Album 200c or 30c for dysentery type diarrhea, with vomiting and dehydration. The pet may be weak and cold. The animal is on the verge of collapse. A key note to this remedy is sudden onset and rapid deterioration. The pet should have veterinary care as soon as possible.
Arsenicum Album 200c or 30c. The animal is restless. Vomiting and diarrhea may take place at the same time. The stool may have a very sickening and foul odor. The color may be black and the consistency very watery. The anus may be inflamed. The animals may show signs of frequent straining, the animal may loose physical strength. An example would be a very weak dog suffering with a parvovirus infection. Arsenicum is the #1 remedy in cases of food poisoning.
Phosphoric acid 30c is often considered if the animal has undigested food in the feces. The diarrhea that resembles this remedy often comes on from fright or anxiety. The case is usually mild and the stool has very little odor.
Phosphorus 200c or 30c When you think of phosphorus think of bleeding and a painful, partially open anus. The feces will be very foul and the animal profoundly weak. The animal may be nervous and demand attention.
Choose the remedy that most closely corresponds to the pet's problem. Do not mix the remedies together. Only give one remedy. One of these remedies will usually do the trick to check an acute case of diarrhea. So, we suggest you add these to your home healthcare kit for your pets. The above homeopathic remedies not only apply to dogs and cats but can be used for you and other pets too; everything from ferrets and birds, to horses and goats.

Other foods that can be given temporarily to help slow the transit time of the gut would be a potato base diet. Use a half and half mix of mashed white potatoes and sweet potatoes, with some boiled chicken added.
