Poor Bella! The peanut butter may have caused the diarrhea. Withhold food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Feed bland until the stool is normal then transition slowly to her regular diet. In the future, use something other than peanut butter to get her to take her pills. Cheese may work or a bit of hot dog. Use a small amount of either, just enough to hide the pill. You can also buy Pill Pockets from your vet or from Petco. These are convenient treats used to give medication. If the diarrhea doesn't resolve, see your veterinarian for an exam.
