What do I do when my dog is sick?

I have a sick dog and everytime she eats it goes through her and she poops every where I tryed giving her hambuger and rice because I guess its going to stop it but it hasn't so I need some advice on how to stop the runs.
Answers:
Well like all the other irresponsible pet owners on here what you do is come on petqna.com and ask stupid questions instead of GETTING IT TO THE VET!! Geezus...
Go to the vet. That's just not normal and probably needs medical attention.
you can't stop them until you know what is causing them.
How long has this been going on? How old is she? What has she been eating, is that hamburger greasy? Has she been wormed, tested for Giardia or Coccidia? Has she had ALL her shots and is up to date? Has anyone seen her eat any plants or wierd stuff?
You can give her some pedialyte or gatorade if she seems dehydrated or isn't drinking.
You can give Kaopectate to her, but if she has any other symptoms, like fever, vomiting or shaking etc. Dont', just take her to her vet asap or the Emer. vet tonight.
If it smells like wet pennies take her to the vet immediately it could be parvo.
Take her to the vet. #1 thing to do.
If that is unavailable, you can leave her empty stomach for 24 hours after her/his last meal and then get the dog some water. This will clear the dog's stomach. Then wait 20 min. And give the dog his/her regular dog food. Don't give the dog more meat.
take her to vet to see what is wrong that is what i would do.
You need to take her in to see the vet she might have some stomach issues or something serious.
pepto bismol and not the whole bottle use your head... also call your vet
go to the vet...duh! Could be any number of things from parasites to a diet that is not agreeing with her to who know what else...
no people food ,get her on a healthy diet
maybe she ate something that made her sick. so you should take her to the vet
Take her to the vet.
You have to find the cause of the diarrhea.. Diarrhea is a symptom of a problem.. You find out why she has diarrhea and you can cure that, and diarrhea is gone..
If she has gotten into something and her body needs to get rid of it.. You don't necessarily want to stop the diarrhea.. You want to make sure she is still drinking and not becoming dehydrated.. And check with the vet.. Likely worms or a parasite. I would bring in a sample for the vet to check.
take her to the vet-not normal at all. too many things could be the cause.
I think you're suppose to give her chicken and rice not hamburger. You should make sure there is no blood in her stool. If it doesn't stop very soon I would take her to the Vet. She needs a very bland diet.
Go to the vets and ask his/her opinion.
hi, You can help control the runs with kayopectate 1ml per pound.. the thing is though, your dog has something wrong and needs to be treated.. your dog can have parasite, or giardia, coccidia or?? You really should take your pet in to the vet..
Good luck
