Hi, and thanks for your question. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48 hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. A probiotic can be added to the diet as well (like pro-kolin for example). I would definitely recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist in the next 24 hours or you notice lethargy or inappetence. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
