What meats can my picky dog eat on a special diet after diarrhea?

Question

My dog had a bad reaction to medication, Metacam, which is a pain killer as he had a small operation. He apparently reacted bad to this and had bloody and very bad diarrhea. We took him back and he stayed overnight until he was better. He is now on different meds (Temgesic and Vetrimoxin) and he must eat gastrointestinal dog food or rice with white fish. My dog is a very picky eater, would chicken beasts be an alternative? Is there any other alternative meats? (Chicken hearts, liver, etc). Pet's info: Dog | Karelian Bear Dog | Male | unneutered | 9 years and 9 months old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Bastiann! If Bastian has food allergies then he should avoid chicken. I am suspicious that is the case because rice with fish is an odd bland diet for your Vet to recommend. You could try boiled hamburger, pork, or turkey. If you know someone who hunts you can try venison or bison. Just be sure to get all the fat off of it. I would avoid organ meat. If Bastian doesn't have a food allergy or inflammatory bowel disease I see no reason why you can't boil chicken breast. Also try some meat flavored baby foods to mix in to entice him. I hope this helps and I wish Bastian a speedy recovery!
