As long as she is behaving normally, you can give her tummy a rest by withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to her regular diet afterwards. Symptoms to monitor for and that should be addressed by your veterinarian include vomiting, persistent diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. A bland diet can be made by offering plain white rice and boiled boneless/skinless chicken breasts mixed in equal amounts. Start with 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase the amount.
