I'm so glad that Tinny Bubbles is starting to feel better and not having any more vomiting or diarrhea. Often after a dog has had diarrhea, it will take a while for their stool to build up again, so they often won't have any stool for up to 48 hours once they have been treated. If Tinny Bubbles is straining to defecate, I would contact your veterinarian. Scourvet has a number of ingredients in it to resolve diarrhea, so be sure to continue to give it as directed by your veterinarian to make sure she doesn't have any more problems. I hope that answered your question. Thanks for using PetCoah.
