Diarrhea, Canine and Feline - contd.

Prevention
Prevention involves avoiding the potential causes of the diarrhea. Dogs and cats should not be allowed to eat out of the trash, nor should there be sudden changes in dog or cat foods. Owners should take appropriate precautions against parasites. Visiting a veterinarian on a regular basis for routine fecal examinations and general physical exams can also help avoid diseases that can lead to diarrhea.
