We usually do no food or water for 12 hours, followed by a low residue diet. Basicaly what you do for children.
The following recipe was given to us by our vet:
Diet for Vomiting or Diarrhea
1 pound hamburger; boiled, drained
1 cup uncooked rice; cooked
2 whole eggs, hard boiled, shelled
2 tablespoons karo syrup, light
After vomiting stops, may start on water and ice as tolerated.
Give oral meds as ordered.
May substitute skinless chicken for hamburger. Shred meat/chicken. It is critical to drain the fat off, so boiling the meat is recommended.
Cook the rice according to directions on the box. One cup of uncooked rice will make approximately 3 cups cooked rice.
Mix all the prepared ingredients and refrigerate. Warm before feeding.
An adult dog may have 2 cups of the mixture 5-6 times daily for 3 days. When directed, begin mixing the hamburger and rice with his normal food in a 50/50 mixture. Feed 2 cups, three times a day for 3 days. Then go back to regular food and water.
This plan needs changing if the dog:
continues to vomit/have diarrhea
weakens in condition
won't eat
the vomit or diarrhea starts to contain funny colors, especially reds or blacks
seems sicker instead of better in a day or two
the vomiting or diarrhea actually gets worse
