My dog has had a runny stool since Tuesday morning. Today it was very bad although he acts normal. His abdomen doesn't seem tender. Still wants to play, still jumping up, still bossing our other dog around. The only thing I can think of that has been different is that acorns are now falling and he has been eating them. Does anyone know if these can be toxic to dogs? We have two oak trees in our yard and both neighbors have them so we have lots of acorns at this time of year. Thanks for any info or assistance you can provide.
Acorns can be very toxic in quantity. The tannic acid, and other contents I'm not sure of, can be very hard on the kidneys. The've been known to kill cattle with prolong consumtion. Seems like someone just reciently posted a web site about toxic plants. The net should have plenty of sites.
Acorns can also cause a bowel obstruction, please don't let your dog have access to them. (take it from someone who has gone thru bowel resectioning surgery with the same dog more than once!!)
Thanks very much for the information. My last dog occasionally ate them but Krieger seems to think it's a buffet outside. I was worried at first about an obstruction but my understanding is that he would be in pain or at least discomfort. He still wanted to play ball and was watching my pockets to see if I had the laser light when I just had him outside. He still has a good appetite (fed him pumpkin) and hasn't had diarrhea in about 5-6 hours. I'm thinking I can just keep an eye on him and keep him away from the acorns.
