If she is otherwise acting ok then you could withhold food for the rest of the day and offer her a small amount of a bland diet tonight. You could buy a gastrointestinal diet or try a small amount of boiled chicken. If the diarrhea persists, she starts vomiting, or becomes lethargic then she needs to be examined by a vet for treatment. Hope she feels better soon.

Diarrhea is a bit concerning, so I can give Koko a home remedy for it. Withhold food for 6 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Poor Meowgie. Withhold food for 6 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
