Last Monday, my 5-pound yorkie at an entire Amarillis bulb (also known as a "Bella Donna Lily") and was violently ill. He threw up about 20 times, had a couple seizures, and spent the night at the Emergency vet hooked up to IV's and catheders. Apparently this type of flower is toxic to dogs, and contains opiates. I was able to take him home about 24 hours later, but he is still on Carafate for his tummy/diarrehha and Pepcid AC. He has been eating chicken, broth and rice only since last monday. (Aside from a TINY amount of peanut butter that I hide his pills in so he'll eat them).

Just this weekend he began to "act" normal again, except he has REALLY runny poop. I don't think it's true diarehha because he only poops 2-3 times a day, but when he does, it's really runny (only a little solid material). I am wondering if you think this is normal, and also what kind of foods you feed your yorkies when they have diarehha/tummy issues. The only other thing I tried feeding him was yogurt, but he will only eat a very little bit of it. I don't know if the chicken/rice combo is causing this, or...?

I really want his stool to harden up because it's worrying me! Thanks for your help.
