my 2.5year old jack russell bitch is not very well she has had diahorrea with some blood through it since friday morning I have spoken to the vets nurse and I was to feed her a little scrambled egg on friday night which she wolfed down as she was hungry. Yesterday(saturday)I was a bit more concerned for when I let her out it was like projectile diahorrea from her again with a little bllood through it so I called my vet again to be told starve her for 24hours if no better take her to the vets Monday but I let her out this morning and she still has diahorrea. The past two mornings I woke up to a mess in my kitchen.She is lively enough playing etc except for the diahorrea I have to try her on a litlle light meal later today ie scrambled egg Any other ideas welcome I hate to see my dog like this

I would stay away from egg!
Eggs are something that IME you should stay well away from in cases of diarrhoea, after all your dog may have salmonella or campylobacter so giving eggs is not terribly sensible.
I would fast her and offer her at most live yoghurt with some tree bark powder/slippery elm.
Do not worry if she is drinking ok.
If she is NOT drinking then you should be worried.
Putting some Lectade or Dioralyte in the water can help ensure that her blood salts are kept at an even equilibrium.#

thanks tohme I havent seen or heard her drinking but thats not to say that she isnt having a drink at night I was also told to give her some milky puddings ie rice custard or semolina but not sure about this.If she is no better in the morning I will be taking her to the vets. I dont allow her to eat anything on the roads or pavements when we out walking not that I have walked her much in the last couple days just to the back garden is all and I cant say that she has eaten anything at home to make her this way

IMHO I would stay away from any dairy products, particularly milk. This is not recommended for dogs or humans with diarrhoea!
It causes it........!
Live yoghurt is good because it has been pre digested by bacteria and has plenty of good bacteria.
Dogs, like us, can go days without eating as long as they are drinking.

When my boy had an upset stomach I was told to starve him for 24 hours and then give a small meal of chicken and rice, and that seemed to work ok. If he's got recurrent diarrhoea with blood it might be something the vet needs to see though.
