Hello, sorry to hear about Ash. Please watch her for persistent GI signs to include vomiting, diarrhea, and a decreased appetite. If you continue to see these signs for longer then 2-3 days, Ash should be evaluated immediately. If Ash develops severe lethargy, vomits more than 3-4 times in one day, or if she develops diarrhea with blood then she should be evaluated sooner. In the interim, you may offer Ash a bland diet to allow her GI tract to rest. This may be in the form of plain white rice, skinless and boneless boiled chicken, and low fat cottage cheese. Hope this helps and best of luck.
