Expect vomiting and/or diarrhea in the coming hours. Withhold food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or an unflavored electrolyte replacement beverage. Resume feeding a bland diet in small frequents amounts until symptoms resolve before transitioning slowly to Sila's regular diet. See your veterinarian if the gastrointestinal upset does not resolve or if Sila develops lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. A bland diet can be plain white rice mixed in equal parts with one of the following: cottage cheese, boiled boneless/skinless chicken breast, cooked/drained ground beef or cooked/drained ground turkey. Begin with 1 tablespoon of bland food every hour and gradually increase the amount if there is no vomiting.
