Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend withholding food this evening (she can have water) and beginning tomorrow morning with a small amount of boiled chicken and rice with plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) for a day or two. If the diarrhea continues or gets worse, I would recommend Penny see her veterinarian. Be sure to bring a fecal sample with you in case the veterinarian would need to test her stool for parasites or bacterial/viral infection she may have contracted at the boarding facility. I hope this helps and best of luck to you and Penny!
