I'm sorry Bailey has been having diarrhea for a couple of months! I'm not sure if she has seen a vet for this problem or not, but I would recommend a vet visit for her. It could be that she is suffering from irritable bowel disease (IBD) causing the chronic diarrhea. The cause of the diarrhea needs to be diagnosed first in order to suggest a diet, which should be done by a vet. Once a cause is found, the vet can give you recommendations for her diet.
