I think taking the dog to the vet is best and safest. I had a pup with Coccidia once. Its not a pleasant thing. I hope things work out for you.

Couple tablespoons of pumpkin. It won't clear it up immediately but it should help. Exactly...I wouldn't expect the first "pile" to be fixed by by the 2nd one you should start noticing some firming up.
Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel As much as I hate to admit it, I do like my truck

She hasn't gone at all this morning. Did vomit prior to eating breakfast. Normal activity level. Is drinking and wolfed down here food this morning which included a little bit more pumpkin. Also tried to get her to drink some pedia-lite to replace lost electrolytes but Maverick seems to like it and helped himself to most of it.

FWIW...
Sounds like a stomach bug that will need an antibiotic. Personally I would withhold food for a day and let her stomach settle down. And then reintroduce her food but make the portions smaller and add a meal or two.

Thanks for the info Angie, I sure hope she is well enough to come see you on Saturday. The wife is looking forward to meeting you as well. She is a little nervous about her baby girl going away for three months.

I have to agree with Angie on this one, I have always been told to cut the food completely for the first 24 hours.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Vet will prescribe metronidazole (flagyl) and it should knock it out! At least that is what they would probably do for an adult dog, sure sure on pups. That is assuming there is not a blockage etc. My bet is a stomach bug given what you have stated.

Just be sure to bring her medication if that is indeed the case. Angie

She hasn't gone #2 at all today. Must have clogged her up pretty good. Not planning on giving her any dinner. Still drinking and active. Played fetch with a frisbee outside and she was balls to wall as usual.
