A couple days ago, we adopted a (pitbull?) puppy that has had a rather rough week... thrown out of a car onto a freeway in Miami, rescued by a truck driver who had her in the cab for six days, to the home of a cook at the local truck stop for two days, to our house in Missouri with four cats and a grown dog. Of course we showered her with too many treats and her food is new. Anyone surprised she started having diarreha?
I have read many excellent posts on this topic, and one theme seems to be to feed her rice. I don't happen to have any rice in the house because of my own allergies, and was wondering if I could substitute oatmeal, cream of wheat, malt-o-meal, pasta, or grits without making the situation worse?
I'll get her to the vet this week. Due to the nature of the rescue and adoption, we simply weren't ready for a puppy.
