My dog ate chicken and egg, now has diarrhea. What's a balanced diet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 5 lbs

I am sitting Mick again. I gave him a small bowl of cooked chicken & a soft boiled egg last night & now he needs to have several bowl movements today. Now he is laying around not wanting to play & seems tired. I'm reading of raw diets. I'll need to buy the things they say. Today I gave him Pedigree. Ill give him that again with a little plain rice as he seems to have the runs. And most likely irratible bowls. My question is. Can you refer me to Meal Plans that give a total balanced diet?

If Mick has soft stool or diarrhea I would recommend just plain boiled chicken and white rice. If the stool doesn't resolve I recommend a veterinarian. If you notice any blood or he isn't eating I would then also recommend a veterinarian. Once he was on the chicken and rice for a few days and his stool is normal I would gradually wean him back onto the Pedigree. We cannot recommend raw diets due to the public health risk.
