My dog has diarrhea after eating cooked cod. What should I do?

Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 3 months old | 84 lbs

My 3 year old Doberman has diarrhoea after stealing a small piece of cooked cod from my plate. It had been cooked with tomatoes and chorizo but it was just the cod he ate. He has been on a raw diet since 8 week old without any issues and is in great health. What would you recommend?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If this is just due to mild gastrointestinal upset from eating the cod then it should resolve soon. You can start Duke on a bland diet mainly composed of boiled chicken and white rice for a few days which may help soothe his gastrointestinal tract. Otherwise, this is very likely going to resolve. Good luck and have a great day!
