Unflavored PediaLyte or a similar electrolyte replacement fluid would be a better option. If necessary, you can add a bit of water from the tuna to get Angel to drink. Feed a bland diet in small, frequent amounts to manage the diarrhea. This can be plain white rice and boiled boneless/skinless chicken breasts mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Feed until the stool is normal then transition slowly to the regular diet.
