| Maybe she just needs some bland food for a few days. I give mine Science Diet I/D that I get from the Vet when mine have the runs. It is a very bland wet food. Or you could boil some chicken and make some rice to give her. I know that with mine, sometimes they seem to get the runs for no apparent reason. I just feed bland food for about 3 days and it goes away. I hope she feels better soon! |

| sometimes when they ( and humans too ) have the runs..,, it is a bug that needs to get out of our system,,,, if you give them something to stop it up then the bug will get worse...,,, When one of my little ones got the runs after the vet checked out everything and did stool cultures then the vet told me to give him imodium... I don't remember what the dossage was.... you may want to let it see if you can let it run its course with bland diet for a couple more days,,, |

| It isn't what she ate or didn't eat. She's stressed, plain and simple. Just keep her with you, don't leave her alone in any strange place, and feed her some yummy baby food finger sticks and baby food toddler carrots and greenbeans. Make sure she is drinking enough bottled water. |
