My chicken-allergic dog ate a bone. Why is diarrhea lasting 3 days?

Question

My dog is allergic to chicken. She got a hold of a chicken wing and ate most of one bone. She has had nonstop liquid poop for three days since. Will this pass naturally or is something else wrong, like a bone shard? She is not lethargic at all - other than the poop she's acting completely normal and happy. The runny stool is normal when she eats chicken but it's just lasting a long time. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 15 years and 6 months old | 15 lbs

It should run its course and stop eventually. If she is behaving normally otherwise, you can try a 24 hour fast. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet, in small, frequent amounts. Begin with 1 tablespoon of food and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland until the stool is normal, then transition slowly to her regular diet. Since she has an allergy to chicken, you can use cooked/drained ground beef and equal parts plain white rice (cooked). You will need to see your veterinarian if the diarrhea persists or if Darby develops lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.
