Is oatmeal okay for my 3-month-old puppy's diarrhea and upset tummy?

Question

Hi! My 3 month old beagle is having some upset tummy issues, and this is causing some diarrhea for him. I started mixing some oatmeal in his food last night and that seemed to help. Is this a good course of action? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 5 days old | 12.7 lbs

Yes it is. As a first approach I usually suggest to to withhold food for the next 8 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
