This may be from stress or diet related from whatever she was surviving on before being rescued. Since she is eating and not vomiting, it minimizes the chance it is parvo virus. You can try to add a canine probiotic to the chicken and rice; this can be found at any pet supply store. Since it has been going on for so many days though, she may need to see a vet to see if antibiotics are needed.
