You can try withholding food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until the stool is normal. Ideally, since she's lethargic and has diarrhea, she should be examined by your veterinarian. If a fast and bland diet does not resolve the diarrhea or if she develops other symptoms (lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain), then Tabby will definitely have to go to the vet.
