Try offering Selena some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts. If she eats this, feed it to her for a couple of days, and then add back in her normal diet. Should she refuse to eat it, the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
