If the paste didn't help there is no indication to give another one, withhold food for 12 hours then offer Lily boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if she is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put her back gradually on her normal food. If the diarrhea does not stop, take her to the vet to get treatment.
