withhold food for 8 hours then offer Rita boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2-3 days. After 2-3 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal diet. If the diarrhea doesn't stop, take her to the vet to get treatment.
