Stop and buy some pedialite, some canned pumpkin (will help stop the loose stools and the dogs LOVE it), some plain, unflavored yoghurt (make sure it's not sweetened) and some brown rice (my vet said it's much better in nutrition than the white rice).

Start with some pumpkin, yoghurt and pedialite. Cook up the chicken and rice. If he keeps down the pumpkin and things look OK try some chicken and rice and follow it up with more pumpkin and yoghurt.

Good luck! I hope it's just a touch of the flu and he's all better quickly.

Michele :-)



Thank you Michele,
I always forget about the pumpkin! Never had to use it but will get some
if this continues. Store is right around the corner. Brown rice suggestion
is also good to know.
Thanks so much,
