You can try giving her 1-2 tsp of canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) in her food daily. This will add fiber and hopefully solidify her stools. You can also try adding in a probiotic (Culturelle over the counter) to her food daily. If she is still having loose stool after 3-4 days, then its best to have her tested for intestinal parasites through your vet. I hope this helps. Best wishes and take care.
