| YT Addict  |  Brown or white rice? Please help!!!! Okay............................so.......Rylee Belle has diarrhea.  She has NEVER had it before. I recently changed her food from TOTW to NOW grain free for small breeds. Does is usually take a few days for a stomach upset to occur from a change in diet? I also just recently starting adding a little bit of Wellness (canned) also grain free. She is acting completely fine and drinking plenty of water. Even still wants to eat (I'm taking her food away for the day) so I am boiling up chicken to give her tonight. My question is.......should I give her brown or white rice? She hasn't had any more diarrhea since first thing this morning (a very little bit) but was up several times during the night with it. Am I handling this correctly?

| It's probably the food switch that caused stomach upset. Some dogs can switch w/out any problems, but some take more time to get used to it, esp w/ canned food. I prefer white rice, as brown rice is harder for them to digest if not cooked correctly. You can also moisten her hard kibble in the water that the chicken & rice was boiled in, they love it. If her bowel movements do not improve, a trip to the vet would be in order. Hope she'll feel better real soon!

| I must admit - Harry won't touch brown rice, so it's always white for us....  Also, don't forget about the good old pumpkin (as I learned on here!!  ) Sally + Harry x |
