I have a nine-year-old pug mix named Samantha (Sam). She has been losing weight and going to the bathroom constantly, with liquid diarrhea. I treated her for worms, but it didn't help. She eats well, and we recently changed her food gradually. We have to keep her and another dog separate due to jealousy, which might be causing stress. What could be causing her symptoms, and what can I do to help her?
