Unhappy Help I Need Dog Advice!!!!!

OK So i was walking my dog on the street a couple days ago. And when we came to this one fence my dog stopped to do his bussiness. When he was done he barked at me so naturally i looked at him. Well i caught a glimse at his poop and it seemed to be a bit more runny then usual. Could this mean that he has worms? He has also not been active as much as he ususal is

yachickensya,

Some of the typical symptoms of worms are:
  • Dull coat
  • Weight loss
  • Appetite loss
  • Pot-bellied appearance
  • Coughing
  • Low energy level
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
Definitely Diarrhea and Low Energy fit the bill, however, those symptoms can be symptoms of many other ailments.

Dogs and puppies should be wormed regularly. More frequently when they are younger. Worm medication is inexpensive.

Anytime you notice a dramatic change in your pet you should probably see a veterinarian.

I hope he's OK
