Hello, sorry to hear about Hope. She may require medications to control her diarrhea since the bland diet is not doing much to improve her stools. Medications may include dewormers, antibiotics, and probiotics in conjunction with continuing the bland diet. If the diarrhea does not improve even with those, then Hope may need further diagnostics to rule out a metabolic disease as the primary cause of the diarrhea. I would say that if Hope continues to have the same amount of diarrhea tomorrow, then she should be evaluated by her veterinarian immediately. In the meantime, continue giving her the bland diet only and make sure she has access to plenty of water at all times. Hope this helps.
