Tips for new greyhound with diarrhoea

[ponyperson3317]

Hi guys,

I posted a few days ago about what to expect with my new greyhound...well she's at home and lovely but now I have some questions!
Basically, she is settling in fine but is very attached to me and my OH - she follows us around the house but I try to stop her. She is whining less at night and I have built up the time I leave her and she seems ok but now I have to go back to work so she will be left for longer.
~Anyway, my main problem is that she has diarrhoea, I think because she managed to get into a box of muesli! She is unable to get through the night or the four hours she will be left so any tips for protecting my floors and what can I feed her to help harden it all up?

Starve her for 12 -24 hours, plenty of access to water then give her a few bland meals of chicken boiled rice then introduce her own food again.

Thanks, I'll try that

Have you changed her food at all? I'd do as Cala says, but add some natural (live) yogurt too, just a spoonful, to balance the gut bacteria.

My first greyhound had rotten diarrhoea when she came home with us, so I put her on a diet of chicken, rice & boiled eggs for a fortnight and things soon settled, now she can ( & will) eat anything!

Handy tip - I bought cheap chicken from tesco and cooked it whole overnight in a slow cooker. An average sized chicken would last her about four days.
