Update: So I switched him back onto white rice. I also gave him some pumpkin for a day. He's been eating his regular dog food along with white rice. He seems to be doing fine. His stool is very solid and normal looking now. He hasn't had any more accidents in his cage while we are out (when he was sick last week he would go everywhere in the cage and it was a lot). I don't know what it was but it seems he has had a full recovery. I never got the chance to take him to the vet before he recovered. I was about to begin collecting his stool for a few days for the vet, next thing you know he was constipated after the pumpkin and didn't go for 2 days. After that he just started going normally as he used to. I'm relieved. I think he probably just ate something bad outside since he likes to lick and eat grass/leaves all the time.

My vet says you can also feed them a scrambled egg when they have tummy troubles, in addition to the white rice and chicken.

My Columbo had a period of time a few years ago when he was occasionally throwing up food or bile. Not that often, but now and then. It never occurred to me that it was the food until something caused me to switch his food and it all stopped. That's when I realized there was something in the other food that didn't agree with him.
