| Do you give rice for an upset tummy? Poor little guy was diagnosed with Giardia today. He got his rabies shot yesterday which triggered major diarrhea. Vet gave us meds but I was wondering if you guys give anything to make their tummy feel better. I know I've heard about rice --how much and does it matter if it's white or brown? Thanks! |

| Hi neighbor. 50% white rice and 50% boneless skinless chicken breast with fat removed is fine. Slowly transition to regular food in two or three days. The vet can also give you a tummy friendly canned food or kibble if you'd rather not cook.

| Yes, plain canned pumpkin does a great job with both problems. |

| Thanks for the quick responses! I asked the vet about food and they said "any canned food will do". Ummmm no. I gave him the tablet with a little dab of Nutracal and he ate it right up. I still have to give the powder. I figured he would eat that on rice. Last edited by dydy; 04-10-2012 at 08:57 AM. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Does he normally like rice? I had to give it to Joey once and he wouldn't eat it. When giving medicines, it' good to put it in something they will gobble down.

I guess I will give him a taste test of the rice first. If he's not into it, I'll come up with plan B for the powder. I'll have to get to the store for the canned pumpkin too. | |

YT Addict | I had to give Rylee Belle medicine a couple of weeks ago for stomach issues and I gave it to her in a spoonful of "plain" yogurt! She loves it and it is good for them also! Good luck..........I hope your baby is feeling better soon!!!!

He said he would be 100% within a few days but the diarrhea might continue for another day or so. As long as he's eating and drinking, not to worry. I had not seen this Dr. before and he didn't not seem to realize how special my little yorkie is. It was all kind of run-of-the-mill to him. Bristol is still eating, drinking and playful so I'm trying not to be super stressed about it although it's hard not to worry. | |

I hate it when a vet doesn't seem to want to build a relationship with my dog. You're lucky, it sounds like you caught the Giardia before it had a chance to get really bad.

| I steam the chicken in a little water, cool, chop the chicken and refrigerate. When ready to feed -warm slightly,add the cooked rice and let it soak a few minutes- smash into a soft mush and they gobble it down. |

| Rice would work fine, but in my experience, oatmeal works better (at least with my yorkie Tatiana). The oatmeal I use is the plain, old-fashion oatmeal. I would use the oatmeal as I would rice, and may have to add some extra water, as oatmeal gets thick. I noticed that Tatiana's stools are more full and firm when I gave her oatmeal instead of rice. Thus, I switched her over to oatmeal. |
