If Mila is drinking, offer unflavored PediaLyte or similar sugar free electrolyte solution. A bland diet should be fed as well. This can be plain white rice mixed 1:1 with one of the following: boiled boneless/skinless chicken breast, ground turkey, ground beef (cooked/drained) or cottage cheese. You can serve it warm or mix in a teaspoon of baby food to stimulate her appetite. Feed until the stool is normal before slowly transitioning to a quality puppy food.
