Donna, If Misha is behaving normally otherwise, you can try withholding food for 24 hours to give her GI tract a rest. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Feed until the stool is normal before transitioning slowly to her regular diet. Recheck with your veterinarian if the diarrhea does not resolve. See your vet if Misha begins vomiting, becomes lethargic or stops eating. A teaspoon of plain canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling) per 10lbs body weight canned be mixed into the food once or twice daily to provide extra fiber. Veterinary Probiotics such as ProStora, FortiFlora or ProViable may also promote gut health.
