and when she chewed on a plant I took her to the vet and the vet gave her antacids and said a touch of milk once per day for a couple of days but no more as dairy is hard for their bodies to digest and they will grow up with digestive problems and may be immediate problems with the runs. I gave her a a tbsp and she was fine, a little cheese and she was fine. So I don't know how true that is.. but i avoid giving her dairy with concerns of future problems. I guess it may depend on their weight as well?

Yeah, Izzy's stool is a bit softer than normal when I give him veggies or fruit. He's 4.5 pounds. I think it is okay as long as their stool isnt runny.
