In these cases vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, inappetence and abdominal discomfort may be showing and should be ideally checked as soon as possible. In the meantime, I would recommend to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days.
