Here's my dilemma..

Harley had a stomach upset on Monday and ended up at the Vet. he's been off his medications for two days, and yesterday I started giving kibble slowly. Tonight was his first full meal on kibble, and well his stool is still really loose, he just had a mushy poop, and then a few minutes later a watery one.

The other thing is we drove home tonight (2.5 hours) from my mom's house were we spent the weekend.

What can I give him that will help him out, but not upset his stomach, we think it was a protein imbalance that messed his system up,

Is pumpkin what I'm supposed to give him? I'm willing to run out to the store and get some if it'll help him calm his tummy. I've also heard that plain/vanilla low fat yogurt does the same, but I didn't know if with his stomach issues if that would be a good idea. His stools have been runny the last few days cause he's been on a bland and rather watery diet (watery rice, chicken and the last two days I added carrots). So I expected them to be pretty watery, but I didn't expect them to get worse.

Thoughts? or do you think that he'll be fine. (he's jumping on me and running around right now).

Thanks.
