Dog's diarrhea is white and lime-like

Dog's diarrhea that is white and lime-like is mainly related to the dog's usual diet, gallbladder condition, and parasites. First, when a dog eats more bones or food with high calcium content, it can cause white diarrhea that is not easy to form clots and can be easily crushed. Secondly, if the dog's bile ducts are blocked, causing bilirubin to unable to enter the intestine, it can cause formed but whitish stools. Lastly, after a dog finishes taking deworming medicine, it may also have white diarrhea, with the white substance being parasite eggs or adult corpses.

  1. Dietary reasons

The color of a dog's stool can be affected by its diet. If a dog eats a lot of bones or food with high calcium content, the body may not be able to absorb all the calcium, resulting in white stools that are not easy to form clots and can be easily crushed. This is a normal situation. Just pay attention to feeding the dog normal dog food or feed it the usual food it eats before, and the color of the stool should return to normal.

  1. Bile duct blockage

If the dog's bile ducts are blocked, bilirubin cannot enter the intestine, which can cause formed but whitish stools. As there are many causes of bile duct blockage, such as stones, worms, tumors, etc., it is recommended that the owner take the dog to the pet hospital for a specific examination, such as ultrasound, complete blood count, etc., to find the cause and then proceed with the next step of treatment.

  1. Parasites

If the dog's stool is not completely white but has large or striped white patches, the white substance may be parasite eggs or adult corpses. This usually occurs after the dog finishes taking deworming medicine, as the dog's body is expelling parasites from its body, which is a normal phenomenon. Therefore, owners do not need to be too worried.
