Bowie turned 10 this past November. The diarrhea has been sporadic over the past two months and includes excessive thirst (only at the time the diarrhea).
My German shepherd has always had a sensitive stomach. Lately he has had reoccurring bouts of diarrhoea. His feces has been runny and sometimes covered with mucous.
