Cooked white rice usually helps. But since it has been since Monday. I would take her to the vet.
Hope she feels better soon

Definitely take the dog to the vet, sounds like a long time to have diarrhea, and I agree, no people spices, very bad idea.... the only people food I give to my dogs: chicken, hamburg, rice, carrots, pumpkin, peanut butter....everything else is off limits, because I don't know what will or will not hurt them. Oh, and my pups been on fortiflora since he was diagnosed with Parvo at 6 weeks of age, and it is wonderful!

Mine got like this last spring.I tried all of the soft diets to no avail.
It turned out mine had a bacterial infection(in the small intestines) from maybe a dead mole or something in the yard they got into.I got mine in to the vet on a Sat. and they had to have antibiotics specific for this.I would try to get to the vet tomorrow just in case because if it is what mine had it won't go away.If you can't get him there then make sure they drink alot of water in small doses and no more food.
hope it helps and keep us posted.It can spread if it is what mine had,kinda like stomach flu.

Add canned pure pumpkin to their meals. Add a good heaping table spoon. And don't get the pumpkin pie mix with all the spices...you want the 100% pure pumpkin in the can. These are found in the baking goods section of grocery stores.

You could also add organic plain yoghurt to their meal also...will help settle stomach, give good table spoon full of that tool.

Good luck, all that shoud help!

I would try rice,, mashed potatoes. Also get some canine Fortiflora,,it helps alot. Be sure your dog is drinking fluids. If it continues I would take him in to the vet.

Occasional acute diarrhea shouldn't last more than a few days. If it lasts longer than that or if your dog has a fever, appears to be in pain, has blood in the stool, is tired, dehydrated, has decreased appetite, or is acting like she doesn't feel well, she needs to see her vet. You can tell if she's dehydrated by her gums. If they are dry or sticky feeling, she's probably deydrated.

To treat the diarrhea cut her food intake in half & start her on a bland diet of rice & boiled chicken or rice & cooked hamburger - about 2 to 1. Give her small servings of food several times a day,

100% pure canned pumpkin (not pie filling) is also excellent for treating diarrhea. It adds bulk. Give 2 tsps a day for small dogs up to 2 tbsps a day for large dogs.

Bottom line, if the diarrhea persists beyond a few days, regardless if she's acting sick she needs to see her vet. And don't feed your dog any more spicy people food. Dogs shouldn't eat spicy food.

My dog Aran has had problems with diarrhea and this is what I got from my vet. Fortiflora and Prozeme every day mixed in with her food. Plus, when it gets real bad, a nature herb called slippery elm. As a terrier Aran is prone to tummy issues and these products have taken care of the diarrhea problem. I agree with the other comments, being that this has been going on for several days, I would contact the vet. But if you do ask about this products. - they both can be purchased at the vets. Good luck!!

Try giving them some rice with dinner, it will usually help.

I agree with midwestwoman in that you need to be very careful she isn't getting dehydrated. Since it has been several days, I would call her vet for sure. It is most likely from eating "people" food, but could also be giardia or some other parasite. We've also added some boiled white rice to our dogs diets when they've had diarrhea (per our vet), but I do really think a call to your vet is the best first step now.
