If Dustu is still ill and having diarrhea, I would highly recommend seeking out vet care to have any underlying issues treated and get her feeling better. If the diarrhea was due to a diet change or by adding in too many treats, letting her adjust to the new diet and removing any extras may help. It may be that she is still feeling somewhat unwell and isn't vocalizing, so ruling out any other health issues is always a good first step. Spending some time together, making sure she is returning back to other normal eating and drinking habits, etc may help her perk back up and return to normal behavior.
