Since Pickles is acting normal otherwise, try withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts waiting at least one hour between feedings. This can be boiled boneless/skinless chicken breast and plain white rice. You may substitute ground turkey, ground beef (coked/drained) or cottage cheese for the chicken if necessary. Continue feeding until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet. If the diarrhea doesn’t stop, see your veterinarian. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth. Go through the house and yard to discover anything Pickles may be getting into that could cause the diarrhea.
