Sorry about this subject but Red has had it since Monday night. She is fine in herself and I have still been feeding her as per normal plus Pro Kolin twice a day. She has cried out the last two nights and I have let her out.
Wondering if I should starve her for 24 hours? Or try her with just rice (she can’t have chicken as that upsets her). Not sure what to do.
Obviously if it persists then I will take her to the vets.
She had a lot of upset stomachs last year as a puppy but she has been relatively ok this year. Usually the Pro Kolin sorts it but doesn’t seem to be helping this time.

I always use deboned and deskined white fish boiled. I never use rice it didn't help Rory at all and just do tiny meals of fish throughout the day.sometimes just a few spoonfuls. I gradually mix in the kibble over a few days letting the fish juice soften it. I also put fish juice in the water to encourage drinking.

If sick over night, I usually starve for the day (no breakfast) and do 2 scrambled egg for the evening meal and see how she does that night. I stopped with rice also because it didn't seem to help. If she's ok overnight, I do eggs and add bit of white meat (either boiled chicken or fish) and then slowly re-introduce kibble over a couple of meals.

Thank you for your advice everyone. I am still wavering over starvation or just a small amount of rice and no kibble at tea time. She has Hills i/d in her kongs so I will probably continue those - I just can’t seem to decide what’s best. If she is still having diarrhoea tomorrow I will take her to the vets. She is quite sleepy today so I think it is affecting her whereas the past few days she has been her usual self.

All of you people starving your Labradors! :eek:

How do you live with the big brown eyes boring into your soul?! And the lakes of drool?!

I've used chicken and rice but not for a long time, thankfully. I've never starved them, except for that time Shadow ate three times his body weight in stolen kibble. :tmi:

Hope Red is feeling better soon.

I normally only starve for sickness. With the trots I just give him chicken and rice for a couple of days with some of those sachets from the vets and it’s clears up in no time x

Well I gave her rice with some shredded cooked turkey for tea. She wolfed it down. I have just taken her for her usual walk with some turkey in my right hand in case we needed to do some A to B. She knew I had turkey in my hand and was fixated on it the whole way to the point a ginger cat literally walked right in front of her and she ignored it ?. Whilst out she had an almost normalish poo ? for the first time since Monday. Anymore diarrhoea and we will be at the vets tomorrow.

I usually only starve for vomiting. I feed white fish by choice mixed with cooked pasta rather than rice at the suggestion of our vet in May. Just as well as I had to do a fair amount of hand feeding with Royal Canin vet food added - yuk!! As it's a couple of days and Red's not herself I would check with the vet - just to err on the side of caution.
