She might have eaten something spoiled that is causing this. withhold food for 8 hours then offer Riley 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 resolve, take her to the vet to get treatment.
